Our stay in Yoshikazu's flat was excellent. Yoshikazu is the best host I have ever had on airbnb. Very attentive, courteous, most of all extremely helpful. Due to language barrier in Japan i could not organise a lot of things by myself, so Yoshikazu helped me with every single thing.
Big big Thank you Yoshikazu!
Comments about the flat:
The flat is studio, with a double bed and sofa, so up to four people can go in. But of course for spaciousness and confort, 2 people would be very happy there. Spotless clean toilet with many buttons :), shower/bath, little kitchen with fridge, coffee machine, kettle, rise cooker and many more things. Also there is a small balcony to dry your clothes if you wash. And you have a view of skytree tower a little bit. Basically everything you need is there and working perfectly. Most importantly wifi and portable wifi are provided. And they will make your life easy.
Location:
For our taste the location was also very good. 1 minute walk from Oshiage station. 2 stops away from Asakusa or 25 minute very relaxed walk. In Tokyo the metro charges are as per the distance. The more stops you travel, the more money it takes off your Pasmo card. We had a JR pass and a Pasmo. So we took the Honzomon line 1 stop to Kinshicho and from there we were able to travel for free with the JR pass to various destinations, which was great as it saved us a lot of money.
Also I wanted to watch a Sumo Tournament, which was taking place during our dates (it's only taking place 3 times per year for two weeks - tickets must be bought online on the date of official opening, after that date you will struggle to find anything reasonably priced). So Ryogoku Kokugikan the Sumo stadium was 2stops away or 30 minutes relaxed walk from the flat. Also I wanted to watch a Sumo training, Yoshikazu helped me with this too. The Sumo stable was 10 minutes walk. My Geisha make-over session was in Asakusa 25 minutes walk. So a lot of the things I wanted to do were near me. So for my needs, the location was definitely excellent.
There is a big shopping centre 1 minute walk with loads of restaurants. The restaurants look to be very good with views, but we found them a bit pricey for our budget. For more local, simplistic food places, you can go around the flat, there is not that much for our taste, but there is always something. And actually there is a huge good quality supermarket next to the station open until midnight and you can buy really nice sushi and other types of ready very good food.
All in all we are happy with our stay and will be recommending this flat to our friends.
