For my first Airbnb experience, the Kawanos set the bar high. We enjoyed our stay at the Cedar apartment. We're five in the group and it is just perfect for us. We love the layout and design - the cedar walls, tatami mat, futon beds and the neatly designed furniture. Much like staying in a hotel, the apartment is complete with the basic amenities with bonus of cozy and homey feel. And of course, we very much appreciate the free and very useful pocket wi-fi :) Further, the house location and the Tateishi neighborhood are great. The house is a couple minutes’ walk from the train station and there are convenient stores and restaurant open 24hrs, perfect when we want to grab something after arriving late from touring.

The Kawanos are very nice and accommodating. No wonder they are a superhost in Airbnb. They responded to our messages and queries immediately. Koji-san was able to meet us upon our check-in. He oriented us with the basics of the house and the neighborhood.

We love the cedar apartment and we wished we could have stayed longer. We will definitely book here again for our return to Tokyo..hopefully soon ^_^
