This Ebisu location is pretty amazing. Literally like 5 min walk to the station and even less to all the amenities needed. Grocery pharmacy etc.
I had the fortune to also stay at the harajuku rental as well. Both are very different due to the areas.
Ebisu has much more night life due to the bars and restaurants around. It’s louder but nothing more than usual city noise what you’d find in New York for example.
But this location makes you feel like you live in Tokyo and in Ebisu. You can wonder all the small streets and see the coffee shops and restaurants.
The apartment is super cool. Has two levels. Kitchen and bath room on the top floor. Bedrooms on the bottom. Newly renovated with all appliances. Everything was very impressive.
The actual process to get from the street level to the elevator is just one flight of stairs outside. It’s nothing more than what your going to find coming out from the train stations. Pretty standard and straight forward. We did it with 5 luggage and a baby. So it’s not rocket science.
I would highly recommend staying here.
And the hosts are amazing. Super responsive. More so than any other air bnb host I’ve had.
