Hiro-san’s Himawari building Airbnb was a fantastic and fortuitous place to stay. Hiro-san and his staff were very kind, approachable, and professional. The place was clean, beautifully styled, and catered to a lot of our needs and more! The amenities that were provided like the washing machine, toiletries, coffee/tea/cream, water and towels took a lot of worries out of our trip. The place comfortably fits three people, four may be a little crowded but doable. I loved the tatami mat area. The bed was firm, but still comfortable. Take advantage of the balcony! Every aspect of the place felt very considerate toward the guest. It was also located in one of the most exciting places in Tokyo! We were literally steps away from everything. Things to think about before you book: if you’re carrying some heavy luggage, be aware it’s on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. My luggage was 30 pounds and having to carry it all the way winded me. Also, it was a little hard to find at the beginning. So, if you see Uniqlo, keep going, you’re on the right side of Shibuya109. And don’t forget to look up when passing side streets, you may just miss it. These aren’t bad points at all! Just giving you a head’s up.
Overall, whether it was watching the city wake up sitting out in the beautiful balcony or coming back from a hectic day, Hiro-san’s Airbnb offered a tiny peace of paradise in the already lovely city that is Tokyo. I hope to be able to stay here again when the opportunity arises!
P.S. The pocket WiFi was a godsend!
