We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kevin's place in Ueno. Kevin is very helpful, proactive and a good and responsive communicator in English despite the fact he was travelling at the time.

The apartment is tucked away one street back from the big roads, so is a little hard to find the first time. Kevin was very helpful in providing step by step instructions on how to find the place, including photos.

It is very convenient to Ueno station and many interesting restaurants / local sights and sounds. As we were using the trains extensively (including Shinkansen), the location was perfect. It has everything you would need, is very clean and tidy and comfortable. A portable Wifi hotspot was provided which was very handy.

We stayed with two children who slept on the sofa bed, which was fine. The main bed is small for a double compared to other countries, but not unusual for Japan.

In summary, highly recommended. We would stay here again!
