Tldr: This place is awesome. Book it immediately. This is the best airbnb I’ve stayed at in the past 3 years (and I’ve stayed at a lot of airbnbs).
This is the cutest and most awesome airbnb ever. Min is such a thoughtful host. He was super helpful (there was a missing passport adventure) and gave us great tips. There’s also an onsen near by, though we weren’t able to go. He also gave us face masks which were very appreciated and when they had morning construction (which honestly didn’t affect us much), he got us mochi to apologize for the noise.
The space itself is also amazing. Min keeps the common area well stocked with snacks and great tea. The room comfortably accommodated myself and two friends.
The location is a nice quiet area and within easy walking distance of a subway station which makes sightseeing super simple. If you have a JR pass, the nearby Minowa station is only two stops away from Ueno station with connections to many JR lines so you don’t even need to get the tourist multi-day subway passes if that’s the only subway you’re using.
Our only regret is not being able to extend our trip.
