Aoko’s place was great to stay in as a solo traveler for a couple of nights. Like many Japanese apartments, it is small, so I would recommend this place only for solo travelers. But it was perfect with all the necessary amenities and Aoko was very friendly and responsive, answering all of my questions. It is a easy 10 min walk from Shiinamachi station, especially following Aoko’s clear directions. Note that the apartment is on the second floor and there is no elevator, but the flight of stairs is short and not difficult to manage for those capable. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my stay and would stay again!
