My family needed a place to stay a couple of weeks while relocating to Tokyo and we picked Rumika's place based on reviews.
The apartment is great and atypical. It is on top of a block of 4 small rooms, with a common area + kitchen + bathroom + 1 room on second floor and another room on the 3rd floor. It is cute, clean, well equipped (the dryer is a game changer) and the little terrasse is lovely. It is well located, close to major subway lines and easy to navigate.
Soundproofing is a major issue however, not so much for us to hear what is happening in the streets (it's a very quiet area), but mostly because we recieved complains about footsteps from the people below after our first night, despite being very careful. There will definitely be a learning curve for neighbors to process Japan's reopening to foreigners after 2+ years of Covid.

ank you Rumika, I hope we didn't bother you too much during our stay. The apartment is great, the girls were really happy to sleep on the upper room and the terrasse, but sound isolation it really is a major problem especially with picky neighboords !
