This apartment in East Ueno is situated roughly halfway between Inaricho and Shin-okachimachi stations, with Ueno station a slightly further walk away, making it ideal as a hub for exploring Tokyo. There's several convenience stores and restaurants nearby too, one on the next Street over (door-to-door in about 3-4 minutes walk). As for the flat itself, there's a very competent and quiet air-conditioning unit which we made use of, and a fridge which was loaded with drinks as soon as we arrived. The beds we used were all comfy too so no complaints there. The windows seem to be single glazing, which during the daytime lets a lot of noise in, but during the night the area is very quiet so isn't an issue. I would be aware of this if you plan to be out late at night and sleep during the daytime. There is a restaurant in the ground floor of the building that is open at night, however since this flat is at the top of the building, no noise from it can be heard.
Inside the flat, there's a shower room (includes shampoo and soap but no bath) a separate sink/wash room (includes mirror, hairdryer, some toiletries) and a separate toilet room (toilet has washlet/automatic bidet). The lounge and kitchen area is quite sizable with a foldable sofa, TV, dining table, kitchen appliances, etc. Please note that the hot water heater for the kitchen sink requires the gas to be turned on first before the water will heat. Please be careful with this. I didn't use the stove or the microwave, but they are there too.
As explained in the description of this listing, there is no elevator in this building and the flat is on the 4th floor (ground level is 1st floor) so you will need to carry bags up and down three flights of stairs. This wasn't an issue for us, but please be aware of this. I have paid much more for one or two bed apartments in Tokyo that have elevators, so weigh up the cost saving here for the convenience.
Overall, I thought this was a great apartment, and I will be keeping this in mind when I am next in Japan with a few friends. I only stayed for a few days this time, but I think it will be good for a longer stay in future. Thank you Angela for a great stay.
