Great place! We originally had a party of 4 which turned to a party of 3. From the point of view of a foreigner, this is pretty spacious compared to some of the other places we stayed at during our trip in japan and definitely could have fit more than our original party of 4.
Great amount of sunlight, nice quiet neighbourhood yet very close to amenities like convenience stores and restaurants. Also pretty close to some awesome bakeries. Short walk to the train or about 25 minute walk to Ueno park.
Two toilets and one bath room. As a foreigner I was unfamiliar with the concept of a toilet being separate from the bathroom itself or that a toilet has a spot to rinse your hands right above the tank which is very common in so many places.
Two sets of steep stairs but none of us had problems with it and I really appreciate the efficient use of space if the house.
If you are navigating and looking for the house at night for your first time and your are a foreigner, definitely use a flashlight. We just relied on google instead of using our eyes to find the house but in broad daylight we were a little embarrassed how we didn’t just look up and read the address marked outside the house.
The pillows were very good! I feel like no matter where you stay, a good pillow is what really determines your sleep and these pillows were nice and firm.
The pocket wifi was very good. We had rented and additional one from the airport and found this one was much better in battery life since the airport one only had 12 hrs and this one was much longer.
Lastly, Tide was very good at responding to our inquiries. I would highly recommend staying here
