Hanako and Sean’s apartment is a very comfortable and great place to stay during a visit to Tokyo! It is close to multiple stations and the Skytree, which you can see while standing on the nearby streets. The area is nice and quiet but close to many amenities and food. It is also situated for a nice walk to other parts of the city outside of Sumida.
The check in was simple and the location was easy to find using the photos and instructions the hosts provided.
The hosts were very communicative and accommodated us by writing in English, which is our native language.
The apartment is very cozy and was equipped with everything we needed for a short stay. The downstairs area has a nice heater and cushions to enjoy sitting in the tatami room. The upstairs is a very cozy space for sleeping with 2 comfy futon beds. The separate sleeping space made the apartment feel more roomy. The ceiling is low upstairs, so we had to duck down, which made the space more interesting and added a very nice and snug feeling to the sleeping area. The hosts also took precautions to prevent you from hurting your head if you accidentally bump it.
The kitchen and bathroom were clean and the hosts provided extras like hair combs and some rice and seasonings.
The wifi worked very well and had no data limit which allowed us to work remotely with no problems.
There is even a vending machine right outside so we could get hot or cold drinks extremely conveniently.
This space is so cute, comfortable, and well-equipped we would love to stay there again if we go back to Sumida!
