We had an amazing stay at Derek's apartment. First the location is superb. Quiet small street in a very cute neighborhood. Lots of foreigners but not too many tourists. And less than 50 yards away from the subway, wow!!! The home was very Japanese and that made it a very real experience. Took some time getting used to the smaller space, but we adjusted and really enjoyed it. A very realistic Japanese home with many conveniences. And Derek was super responsive to our few requests. This place is a winner!!!
