This is such a great flat! Much warmer in ambiance and more inviting than the photos. No doubt due to the stylish interior design and layout. Ko was especially helpful by allowing me to drop my bag off while waiting to check in. I loved strolling the neighborhood and checking out the architecture; a cool blend of traditional and modern. Also, lots of good boutiques, cafés, restaurants, antique stores, etc. Fantastic having the Chou line just behind the flat- so convenient - just a few stops from Asagaya, Nakano, Koenji. But Nishi Ogikubo is a vibrant, lively destination neighborhood in itself, I fear it will be overrun with "hipsters" before long :-) Thank you again Ko.
