I stayed at Yasu's place with a friend for 9 days. Overall, I would recommend it.
Things I loved about Yasu's place:
- Location - a great neighbourhood with lots of little shops and amenities. Feels like you're really living in Japan. I loved going out in the morning to get coffee, go to the bakery, or just explore. It's near an awesome little hidden greenbelt pathway.
- Access to transit - a quick walk to the train. Just two stops from Shibuya and it turns into one of the subway lines there
- Spacious and clean - There was lots of room for both of us and it was very clean. The pictures are accurate or even seem to make it smaller than it is
- Well equipped kitchen - Everything we needed
- The beds were very comfortable and we slept very well
- Quiet - it was a very peaceful place. There is construction across the road, but it starts late and we never heard it (and my friend is a light, sensitive sleeper)
- Friendly host - Self check in was very easy and Yasu was on time to meet us for departure. There were lots of info pamphlets to help visitors navigate Tokyo.
Things that weren't so great:
There was a bit of a musty/mouldy smell. Running the fan and opening windows helped.
