Pro:
1) Cost slightly cheaper compare to hotel
2) Nearby restaurant is worth checking out. Very friendly and delicious
3) Whole apartment is slightly more spacious compare to hotel
Con:
1) The apartment is 1 KM away from nearest station. If you going to walk a lot during your vacation, the journey back to the apartment is the worst experience every single day
2) Toilet is extremely small and unconvinence compare to typical 3-star hotel in Tokyo. There is no room to put shampoo within the bathtub area, no bidet or those fancy toilet seat system. You barely got space to turn in the bathtub
3) I never meet the host in my whole 7 days stay.
4) A lot of small inconvenience in this apartment:
a. The WIFI is not available. Host give me a WIFI from others area but his response is so slow
b. There is a kitchen but no microwave. All the food we brought home have to reheat using pan and wash dishes afterward
c. There is no foldable tables to place your meal too, i doubt the host expect guest to eat inside the apartment. Thus the kitchen is a useless feature
