Makoto was very helpful in our planning phase of our trip, and he had great advice about how to get there from Narita on a busy Friday afternoon in the height of cherry blossom season.

The location was outstanding. It was one minute from the train station and the Nishi Ogikubo area is nicely nestled in a fun neighborhood and also between a cute area in Kichijoji (great shopping and restaurants) and Koenji (best Yakitori and fun resale shops).

The apartment was very clean and quiet. I would recommend taking an eye mask because the light comes into this sunny location even with two layers of curtains.

I would highly recommend staying with this host and in this apartment.
