Great place with a nice design and lots of space. The host will provide you with a really helpful manual to use the various machines in the house, and very detailed indication to find the place walking from the two nearby stations. Also, when cheking out, he took us to Nippori station (where we had an express train reservation to go to the airport) by car. The neighbourhood (Yanaka) is beautiful and peaceful. You get to see the real local life, not just touristy areas flooded with people.

Martín, Chile

The property was spotless, the bath amazing, and for Tokyo having a separate sleeping and lounging area is great. Plenty of room for family with two teenage girls (two half baths and one shower and one bath tub is great). While not in main tourist areas, Yanaka (not just Yanaka Ginza) has a lot to offer with many boutique shops and cafes. Location is easy 10 minute walk from the JR Nippori Station (if traveling on the rail pass). Private rail is less than 5 minutes. Great hosts--even escorted us to a local ramen shop on arrival when we were starving.

Chad, United States of America

Travelling as a family of four (which included 2 younger teenage boys), we felt as though we had a taste of living in a Tokyo apartment, in a contemporary space with a traditional twist. We really appreciated the detailing of the recently furbished apartment - the natural materials and colours provided a tranquil cocoon in which to retire, at the end of a long day of sightseeing! The bathroom is awesome!! We found the location to be excellent - Sendagi station on the Chiyoda Metro line is very close by and gave us quick, easy access to so many parts of Tokyo. We enjoyed all that the neighbourhood has to offer; great atmosphere, restaurants, interesting shops, Yanaka Ginza.

Ros, Australia

The host was extremely friendly and gave us a ride to the train station upon check out. The apartment was located in a very nice and quiet part of the city.

Linda, Sweden

Beautiful facilities, washer-dryer, quiet. Located right near sendagi station.

Queenie, New Zealand

house was very clean, bathroom was especially comfy with the warm wooden atmosphere. The tatami beds were also very cozy. :) Also we really liked the washing machine; it made our clothes smell very nice!

Yu, China

Environment is good and quiet, location is among residential area, and it is quite difficult to find from Nippori Station, about 15 minutes to walk. But, it is very close to the Sendagi station about 3-5 minutes to walk. Bathroom is made of wood, fancy and comfortable. Good service, landlord is very nice and dropped us off at Sendagi Station after checking out. Overall, it is a good place to experience traditional Japanese style housing.

Dante, United States of America

If you would like to experience the real life of Japanese, it's a great choice! Good equipment, convenient location, clean environment. Strongly recommended!

It was a little bit cold in the room; so need to wait when air conditioner get warmer room. But anyway, it was a winter outside, I think it’s normal way for Japan.
Everything’s great. Host is very hospitality. Everything’s close as it can be in Tokyo of course. Bathroom will be noce expirience for european people. Highly reccomend this apartment.

Kitchen counter space was too cramped. A bit on the pricier side relative to other accos in the area. A bit challenging to get to Haneda due to multiple interchanges - especially when travelling with luggage and small kids
Very tastefully done interiors that gave us a flavour of traditional Japanese living without sacrificing modern comforts. Loved the all wood bathroom with the tub for soaking. Loved the traditional tatami mat bedroom with huge capacity. Also loved the modern Japanese toilet/washlet . Great location and connectivity to JR and underground lines
