Honestly, book this apartment right now!! Daisuke is a fantastic host! He made sure we had everything we needed from the moment we checked-in and continued to give us recommendations and advice during our entire stay. The apartment is a studio but is perfect for two (or three if you're very good friends!) and was a delight to return to after long hours out and about. He's gone above and beyond to make sure everything is clear and understandable, from checking-in to using the appliances and the bed is so comfortable, you'll have no issues sleeping. The neightbourhood the apartment is located in such a hip and interesting area and was a perfect reprieve from the hectic atmosphere of Tokyo's more central areas. We were told it's better to choose a neighbourhood on the JR line, but believe me staying in Shimokita was the best decision we made. It's both off-the-beaten path and just one transfer form the JR line, so you'll no issues getting to the more busy spots while still being able to get away from them! There was always something interesting to do (we were there during a local music festival - which Daisuke kindly helped us get tickets for!) and it really made us feel like we were locals! It felt like a home away from home and next time I'm in Tokyo, I won't even hesitate staying with him again. Thank you so much Daisuke!! You helped make our trip unforgettable!
