This place is a beauty. Right smack in the middle of the harajuku shopping district but away from the crazy tourist areas means that it is accessible with lots of shops nearby yet relatively quiet and peaceful. The apartment is as pictured with some signs of wear from rough travellers but otherwise very well maintained. Views at night are fantastic and the place gets lots of sunlight for those doing laundry. We asked for early check-in and the host made arrangements to ensure we wouldn't be left outside waiting.Tip for travellers: 1) do have an eyemask if you are a late sleeper because it gets really bright really early. 2) There are 2 rooms but only 1 set of keys so you have to plan ahead if travelling separately. Wonderful stay! Thank you Taiyo Team!
