First of all I would like to thank the host who was so very helpful when I had a medical emergency, it was my first solo trip and I think I really would've struggled without their help. On this note, they are very quick with resonses on the airbnb app but no one ever came to the apartment to check on me or do anything in the apartment. They are not involved at all with you during your stay. For some people this might be a plus but it might bother some so I thought I would include it.
This airbnb is in such an amazing location, being so close to Sensoji temple, Skytree and having very easy access to the Ginza line which I used daily. There is a 7/11 2 mins walk away from the apartment and a couple good supermarkets close by, Life for example was less than 10 mins walk away. I would say the only downside to the location is being by quite a busy main road so you hear a lot of sirens and sometimes at weekends you can hear some cars driving very fast along these roads. However it's not that bad that it prevented me from sleeping.
The apartment was very clean on arrival, plenty of fresh towels in the bathroom and extra toilet roll. There was also a vaccum cleaner and a floor swiffer so cleaning up after yourself is very easy if you're staying long term. There were plent of glasses in the kitchen, coffee/tea mugs, plates and bowls, pans to cook with, chopsticks and forks and spoons. There was however only one knife to eat with. Also in the kitchen there were ziplock bags and clingfilm plastic for convience while cooking. I found the induction stove top easy enough to use. The other big plus for me was the water cooler in the kitchen however no one ever came to replace the water inside. Also there were no snacks or drinks provided for me when I arrived.
The bathroom was spotless and the water always came out hot and at a good pressure. The bath was amazing to soak in after a long day of wandering around. There are some free bath salts in the bathroom for you to try. The hairdryers provided work very well, with one having a turbo speed option. The washing machine was also a dryer so be careful when washing delicate things or things that could shrink, you might be better off washing them by hand.
The bedrooms were fine, nothing amazing to say but the futons were very comfortable. I was staying here alone so was able to sleep with as many quilts as I wanted but it did get quite cold at night in late october. I'm unsure if the host had provided extra blankets in the cupboards.
Please be aware that the stairs are very steep, I almost fell a handful of times. If you have heavy suitcases I would recommend unpacking downstairs.
Overall I would recommend this apartment. It was clean and comfortable and in a fantastic location. There were only a few negatives and they didn't come close to outweighing the positives.
Thank you Yoshi!
