The apartment is clean and if you’re traveling alone, size-wise it’s enough to be comfortable. If it’s two ppl, the sofa converts to a twin bed – not so comfortable but double up on the extra blanket(s) to pad it a bit more. No TV means you’ll need to be out, or bring a laptop. No portable wi-fi unit was in our room, so take that into consideration. The shower/toilet room is tight but par for the course in Japan.
Apartment building is fairly quiet, AC is cold, water and everything works as it should. Hallway light leading up to the apartment was out tho, but not a huge deal. Lastly Lawson is literally around the corner – if you’ve ever traveled to Japan, this is a huge luxury for late night snacks or whatever.
Kamiyama is the upcoming area (“Ura-Shibuya”) so you’ll love the bars, restaurants, cafes and boutiques nearby. Otherwise, the 10 min walk to Shibuya Scramble isn’t a big deal. Check out Fuglen Coffee, Coffee Supreme and Camelback for your morning coffee, all are amazing.
Def would stay at again, esp at the currency conversion rate but even if not, it’s a very affordable spot to keep your budget in check.
4.7/5. Thanks Mary!
