Me and my boyfriend came from Germany to Tokyo for a conference.
- The Airbnb is close to the university. We ended up going one station by train in the morning, because we were always a bit late, but in the afternoon we walked back which took us 20 minutes or so.
- The neighbourhood is very calm and residential, mostly elderly people and young families. But a five minutes walk brings you to the lively streets around Shimo-Kitazawa station: Coffeeshops, amazing secondhand shops and a weird "Darwin shop" which serves coffee and sells items that have something to do with evolution.
- From Ikenoue and Shimo-Kitazawa you are very quickly in Shibuya and Shinjuku and everywhere
- The apartment itself is very cozy indeed. I love the japanese walls and the sliding doors. :)
- And: It's more spacious than one could think, cause you can store luggage underneath the bed and inside the cupboard on the left hand side.
