I wanted a place that was walking distance to the start of the Tokyo Marathon. Tia's place was about a 10-minute walk, which allowed for a stress-free morning the day of the race. There is a small convenience store just steps away and a small grocery store within just a few minutes’ walk. This was extremely convenient given that we couldn't dine out due to food allergies and were able to go quickly back and forth to grab items we needed without much hassle. The kitchen came with all the necessary appliances and utensils to be able to cook out own meals. It was also very helpful to have the necessities such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, detergent, etc. be provided so we didn’t have to shop for this upon arrival. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. Tia also provided pocket wifi’s which is so convenient when traveling from abroad. The unit is clean and spacious and Tia was very responsive to any to any questions or needs that we had.
