There's really nothing new I can say about Daisuke's apartment in Shimo-Kitazawa that hasn't already been said... The reviews left by others are very accurate. Daisuke provides his guests with tons of information via his blog which contains website links to everything. He's also lightning fast when it comes to responding to questions. The location of the green apartment was excellent for several reasons: restaurants; shopping; night life; and transportation.
If you want food you don't need to travel too far from the apartment. There's a grocery store right around the corner which has everything you'll need. If you want to save a few bucks on food, just wait until about half an hour before the grocery store closes and you can purchase marked down, prepared meals on the second floor that are delicious and inexpensive. The money you save on food can be used to: hit the local watering holes; listen to live music; play games at the Doramas; and/or shop for vintage clothing and records from the many stores in the area.
The apartment has everything you'll need. The appliances are all in working order. The water heater works perfectly. The air conditioner works great. The beds are comfortable. The neighbors are quiet. And last, but not least, the location to Shimo-Kitazawa station is ideal; it's a 2 minute walk from the apartment.
You won't regret booking Daisuke's green apartment.
