Our (already) late scheduled landing was delayed yet further and we didn't arrive at the apartment until 2.30am (!!!!). With this in mind, our host Makoto showed fantastic patience in waiting for us at the nearest station to bring us to the apartment, and still took the time to ensure that we settled in comfortably.
The apartment itself was very clean and tidy, well equipped (with everything one needs from crockery, plenty of bed-linen, washing machine..). Everything worked (instant hot water, beds were comfortable etc). Best of all the apartment has fantastic natural light - an ever bright and sunny feeling, even when the weather outside was only 'so so'. If there was one minor detraction, the space to sit around the kitchen table is pretty tight (but hey, it's Japan, most apartments are small). On the plus side, it's one stop/15 mins walk from Tokyo's best suburb, Kichijoji, a one-stop place for everything that is great about Japan's largest city.
