I can’t say enough good things about our stay here!
Koenji is the best neighborhood — pre-boom, beautiful, with lots of vintage shops, record stores, and restaurants — and the apartment is in a perfect location: a quiet street right around the corner from a convenience store and also the best izakaya we tried on our entire trip! Though the place is compact compared to American standards, it was very cozy and comfortable, and the perfect size for me and my boyfriend to share. Junko was there to meet us when we arrived (insanely jet lagged). She gave us some restaurant recommendations, and even checked in with us the next day to make sure we were happy (we were). If (when!!) we come back to Tokyo, we would definitely stay here again!
