Stayed here with three of my friends. A wonderful experience in Tokyo. We really enjoyed our stay there. A truly homely, private, quiet house in a safe neighbourhood. Even safer since it is located near to the hosts' own house for added assurance and security. Quick access to food and convenience stores nearby, as well as walking distance from the subway station. Very pleasant and kind hosts. They would always be respectful of our privacy yet be proactively offer their help. I do not regret renting this place, and I would absolutely book here again if I were given another opportunity to return to Tokyo.

Akane and Mitsu are the sweetest most helpful people on the planet. They made our experience in Tokyo a breeze. I stayed at the Old Folk House with my five month old baby and husband. We loved staying in their home. It had everything that we needed. Akane even provided a diaper pail. The location was very convenient, close to a supermarket, a convenience store and a laundromat. I was surprised and delighted to be able to experience a slower, quiet side of Tokyo. Akane and Mitsu made us feel like we were close friends or family. I will certainly recommend the Old Folk House to anyone I know that will be traveling to Tokyo.

Akane and Mitsu were very welcoming without being overwhelming and were very attentive - a very charming couple. The traditional Japanese home is spacier than regular apartment units and cozy to even chill at home. It provides everything on the listing and beyond to ensure comfort, as if you were visiting a friend's home. The neighborhood is a vibrant old Edo district, presenting a different side of Tokyo than your usual tourist traps. The Sumiyoshi subway stop is not too far, connecting to both the Toei and Hanzomon lines. Japan railway pass holders could take the hike to JR Kinshicho, I suppose. Highly recommended for the culturally sensitive traveller.

I highly reccomend this stay in Tokyo. I felt so welcomed to the city after meeting Akane and Mitsu who are such kind people. There is a reason why they have been voted super hosts. The house provides a great base to explore Tokyo. There is such attention to detail from a heated toilet seat to floor heating under tables. A beautiful experience of japanese style living.

We were pleased to find this accommodation for our first nights in Japan and Tokyo. Akanene and Mitsu are excellent hosts who made ever effort at making our stay easy. The area is full of interesting and delightful micro restaurants and bars that are friendly and provide excellent food. We particularly enjoyed the Soul Bar on the main road to Sumiyoshi Station. Once we learnt the ways of the Tokyo train system, it was very easy getting to wherever we wanted to go.

Great place, large size compared to everywhere else we stayed in Tokyo and indeed Japan. Yes, house was drafty but we expected this (winter, previous reviews). Heating once it got going was effective, table warmer was great touch. Easy to find from local subway station. The walk was not long, although we tend not to travel with much luggage. We'd definitely stay again, albeit next time aim for another time of the year. Thanks again.

This host was really warm-hearted and hospital. The house was quite cozy. Best trip experience ever.

Akane and Mitsu are very nice couple! Their house was last stop of our Tokyo trip and we were really enjoyed and relaxed in the house. It was comfort and clean, and we love the kotatsu most! The well-equipped kitchen also helped a lot! Akane is a very talented artist, we love the way they decorate the house and the fabric works like art pieces and painting on the wall, especially the vivid curtain, cushions and futon for kotatsu. If you want to try a suburban life in Tokyo, it's the best choice for you!

Alfie's place is a great place to stay if you're in Tokyo. The location is on a quiet street not far from shops, restaurants, and the metro. Alfie and Kenji were friendly and easy going. It is nicely decorated townhome with modern decor. I definitely recommend.

This was a great place. It's very clean and relatively spacious. The interior is nicely done and therefore you directly feel at home. The place is a little remote (10 minute walk from Kanamecco station) , but I didn't mind because the connections to shibiya and shinjuku are great. The place was a little cold in winter, but that counts for the whole of Tokyo. People don't isolate and switch heating off when they leave home. After 10 minutes of heating all is fine.

Very nice place, makes you feel like home. The location is near to Kanecho Station, one stop after Ikebukuro. You can spend one day nearby. Kenji and Alfie were so kind. Wish to see them next time.

After a recent stay of one week we highly recommend a stay with Alfie and Kenji. Their home is clean, well maintained, stylish, well considered for guests and very good value. The bedroom is well equipped with comfortable bed and there is plenty of wardrobe storage space. The neighbourhood is friendly, traditional and very quiet for Tokyo and a short walk to the subway. Alfie and Kenji are helpful with recommendations and advice but provide plenty of privacy for their guests. The level of hospitality is excellent- fresh clean towels every second day, freshly brewed coffee each morning and mobile pocket wifi to take with you each day.

Alfie's apartment was great! It's conveniently located near a 7-11, local restaurants and a subway that allows easy access to basically the entire east-side of Tokyo. The apartment is exactly as described with all the comforts of home. Both Alfie and Kenji are swell guys who went out of their way to assist and make us feel welcome.

Great stay! Alfie and Kenji has a beautiful home, it was modern and extremely clean. Great features such as a washing machine and a dryer, WIFI in the house and a pocket WIFI when traveling Tokyo and heating in the bedroom. If you don't mind sharing a home then this place is great. Japanese houses are built to hear things, unfortunately you sleep on the bottom floor so you may hear movement during the night and morning, aside from that it's a really nice stay.

This is a wonderful house so comfortable ,clean ,well-equipped and in a great location near Kanamecho station and convenience store. Alfie and Kenji are very accommodating. Would stay again when in Tokyo.

What a surprise to discover that this Airbnb is shared ! Only the bedroom is private, so ideal for 2 guests. Our hosts are very welcoming, simple and discrete. During our stay, we could enjoy the whole house without being disturbed. Another amazing point, breakfast is ready every morning, fresh bread and fruits. Highly recommended !

Super appartment in a really nice area. Creativity in decorating and handling the small space. One lttle remark: the bed is really small for two tall Dutch persons!

LP provided us with something you cannot usually just buy: a friendly reception from a local who is happy to provide guidance, recommendations, and tips which ultimately saved us time and money. This is above and beyond the place itself, which is adorable, design-oriented, hand-crafted, and full of charm — think Design Within Reach + Tiny House movement. Highly recommend

Lp and John are fantastic hosts! They are so kind and generous that you feel like home. I was lucky to chill out several times with them and enjoy all the tips. They made my stay an unforgettable experience. The neighborhood is for me the best part of Tokyo, easy access with a multitude of very good addresses. If you want a amazing stay in Tokyo, a full journey of laughter, happiness and adventure, do not hesitate: GO to the sweet Lp, the crazy John and the cute Psycho!

I can absolutely recommend John and LP's gorgeous place in Shibuya. Their attention to detail is impressive and they are fantastic hosts. Their studio has a unique Japanese charm. They made me feel welcome from start to finish. The place has everything you need, and is conveniently located in walking distance from the trendy neighborhoods of Daikanyama, Shibuya and Ebisu. Along with all other reviewers I have to agree: this has been one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had so far.

The apartments are located very close to the Shibuya district, within ten minutes walking time. The rooms are very design sense, see the owner's intentions and interest in life. Quilt a little bit small, but does not affect use. You can also use the blanket inside the door Oh ~ small cabinet with a full range of daily necessities of life; house appliances also quite wide, but did not find an electric kettle pity oh. Terrace planted small plants, where you can smoke on the wall CD player ~ I like ~ garbage needs to be put in the category of trash next to the restaurant downstairs - if you want to experience the local life around Young blocks, shopping in Shibuya, it would be a good choice ~

Evee though I had never met any of John &Lp. But I still feel very close with them. If u want a dreamlike trip, please choose them. intimate hotel and quiet atmosphere, look forward to seeing the next.

LP and Jon are great hosts who are easy to communicate with for any reasonable needs. When we arrived, everything was clean and presentable, along with a personalized welcome note. The room looks lovlier than in pictures and is an intelligently, well-designed, comfortable space that's a simple 8-10 minute stroll to Shibuya Station. Location is key when in Tokyo because an easily accessible place highly contributes to a great trip when your home is a short walk away... extremely recommended! Thank you for letting us stay, LP and Jon!

The host canceled my reservation 9 days before arrival.

The house is wonderful, a great place to stay in Tokyo. I stayed for 7 days in total and loved it. I was there by myself a lot but when Hidenori and his family were home we shared the space together and shared a few meals etc. I slept in the basement which was very comfortable and there are all the facilities there you could need. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I can't say enough about how amazing my stay at Hidenori's home was. The house is beautiful - an architectural wonder. By far the highlight of the trip was how welcoming and friendly Hidenori and his friends and family were. I got to experience a few days in their life - meeting artist friends and joining tasty home cooked meals. Thank you for the awesome stay! I would love to come back one day.

Was good friendly environment.

Great home, fantastic hosts and recommendations to some of the best food in Tokyo. Worth staying a little out of the downtown for a real experience of living in Japan.

It was a great experience living in Kyodo house with Hide and his family. The house is great with sufficient space but a little bit cold in winter in the basement. I like the neighbourhood, it's very convenient, many good food and almost no tourists. Hope to go back again sometimes.

Kyodo House was a great experience - we loved the design of the house (being architects it was of great interest to us) and the hosts were very helpful and hospitable, we really enjoyed our stay.

Hide and his family are the ultimate hosts. There home is an impressive work of design. Staying in Setagaya really makes you feel like a local. When you stay with them you feel like part of the family :)

was a good experience stay 3night here,enjoy the sun bath ard the garden and top roof…thx yours help in tokyo.

What a treat! If you like unusual housing look no further! This well equipped, comfortable, and cool as hell caravan is perfect. Close to the subway(2 mins away walking) and only a short ride away from Shibuya and Shinjuku, I loved staying there. The commune has loads of food trucks (on your actual doorstep) to cater all diets, from German sausage to vegan but more importantly including a great beer stand! Oh and the team is super helpful and quick to reply to emails. I will definitely stay there again next time I'm in Tokyo.

Quirky little spot. Warmly welcomed and introduced to the area. It's a squeeze, as you can imagine, but if you're prepared for it it's fine.

The coolest place in town! Blue bottle cafe is next door! I will come just for relax. PS: read the details for how to get in after 10PM, it will take you some time if you do not know how to get back from other entrance.

I stayed in the Caravan for two weeks - the first Airbnb'r and the first person to stay that long. Great time! It's small but good - the location is amazing. Central to everything, and walking distance from a huge amount of tourist attractions and shopping. The Caravan team is friendly and approachable - my (only minor) issues were taken care of promptly. I've given the team feedback and they're going to be improving the Caravan, but one thing isn't easily fixed. This is in a fairly high traffic area - especially on weekends. People are curious - a Caravan is an unusual sight. Be prepared to be in pictures if you're sitting with the curtains open or outside the caravan. That said, the place is emptied and locked up by about 10pm, so you have the space to yourself. The privacy here is not too good. Otherwise, great experience - even in February. Warm and cozy.

This place was excellent, Jesus was kind, friendly and available to us, showing us around the place and introducing us to cool designers working in the space. The space is quirky and cool, and I would stay there again. There's also a great duck soba place down the street, a bath-house and Cafe Kitsune which has the only correct matcha affogato that I am aware of in the entire world.

I had a lot of fun staying in the caravan. It had everything I needed for a comfortable and unique stay. The location is incredible and the hosts were always in touch throughout my stay. I highly recommend this experience for any single or couple looking for a fun and unique stay.

What a cool little airstream in such a neat little community! Loved the surrounding shops and food stands, and the warm welcome we got from Jesus. We stayed for one night, which was perfect for us. Such a unique experience.

My wife and I stayed two charming nights in the Caravan. Loved the location and easy subway access. All of the vendors at the Commune looked amazing, we had the best fried chicken while we were there. The Caravan itself was quite comfortable -- we'd grown used to tight quarters while visiting Japan, and this was only the second smallest space we stayed in. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind experience!

Anton and Yoshi were fantastic hosts. Couldn't have asked for better! The apartment was very comfortable, well maintained and very clean. They provided everything we needed and more including towels, shampoo, rice cook, sewing kit. There is air conditioning in both the main room and bedroom which was great considering the hot Japanese weather we had during our stay. We were a group of 4 girls and found the apartment highly accommodating. The pocket wifi was very useful for us especially because we didn't have a travel sim. The hosts responded very quickly to any of our requests. There was a lot of consideration put into making our stay as pleasant as possible. The modem for the home wifi was acting up on the first day and within minutes of letting them know, they came over and looked into it. They ordered a new one and fixed it almost immediately for us, to which we are most thankful for. The location was fantastic. It's a fairly quiet neighbourhood in the middle of the city and within walking distance of the major shopping centres at Harajuku and Shibuya. There are multiple train stations and subways nearby too so getting to Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi are all incredibly easy. The supermarket is just down the road. It was very nice to be able to walk around the streets. Even at 1am in the morning you could go for a walk and feel completely safe. Upon arrival they provided us with maps of the area and marked our the major spots we might wish to visit. They explained how to use everything in the apartment and were in constant contact with us during our stay. We'd definitely recommend and encourage anyone who is looking to stay in Tokyo to really consider Anton and Yoshi's apartment. Not only was the apartment beautiful but they themselves were excellent hosts. We had a great time.

Yoshi is a wonderful host and took his time to really make us feel welcome. The apartment was perfect for us and our 2 boys - the main bedroom is very spacious and comfortable. We really loved the area - close and convenient to get to where we wanted - totally safe to wander around. You must visit the alleyway - Harijuku Street - highly recommend the Yakatori restaurant and don't miss The Live Blue Note Karaoke bar- lots of fun. Totally recommended and thank to you our wonderful host Yoshi.

Good location and hospitality.

We were welcomed and we were well briefed. The area is very nice and the description of the Apaartments applicable. It was very nice to explore Tokyo from there. The stay was perfect.

We had a great time in this central apartment with our 2 year old son. Apartment is very spacious and convienient to many tokyo sites. Would stay here again on our next visit. Thank you Anton and Yoshi

The apartment is perfect. Anton & Yoshi has been more than helpful and so nice . You can book their apartment without any doubt, you can't be disapointed.

Very helpful from before we even arrived. Have full detailed instructions on how best to get to the apartment and always able to be contacted. Once there, explained everything well about the apartment and provided us with extra information about nearby facilities and shops. Very kind and polite hosts.

YOU MUST STAY HERE IF YOU COME TO TOKYO!!! Hands down, one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in. Perfectly located between the beauty and energy of Shibuya and Shinjuku. Easy walk to Harajuku and the trains, well really everything you could possibly want! Amazing view of Tokyo from the apartment and the roof with a beautiful shrine across the street to boot. We caught a beautiful sunset and sunrise on our trip there and it was MAGICAL. The apartment has everything you need re: amenities; chargers, beautiful bathroom, iron and board, and the genie toilet! We loved it! Anton made us feel very welcome and we were so grateful for the hospitality after our long flight. We would stay here again and again and hope to come back to Tokyo soon. Thank you!!

Walking distance from the metro station. Very close to Shinjuku by metro. It is a tiny and clean studio which located in a strategic area. They got everything you need, it just worth every penny you spent. Martin and Jan are very helpful and warm. They are very responsive prior and during my stay.

Apartment is located in a very nice residential area. With easy access to subway and JR station. If you don't mind walking, it's just 30min from Shinjuku. The apartment was perfect for us and I highly recommended it to someone visiting Tokyo.

Good place to stay with reasonable price, convenient and the place was clean and quiet. Stuff like bath towels, wifi, hairdryer, soap were also provided. The hosts are helpful and very prompt in responding to queries.

The place I stayed this time is great! It has all the things you need for a traveler. It's location is very convenient , walk about 5 minutes to subway station, and surrounding area with supermarket , and a lot of local eating places. Martin is a great host, he is very helpful, and provide me a lot of information with the area. I really enjoyed staying this place, and will recommend it to my family and friends.

We had great time staying in the apartment. Neighborhood was really nice and quiet, but close to subway station. It took us 40 minutes by foot to get to Shinjuku. Apartment is small but very neat and clean. There's public bath around the corner, laundry, supermarket and several konbini. Martin is nice and caring host, asking if we need anything.

The apartment is in a very convenient location and has plenty of shops around it. The office has multiple English-speaking staff members who were happy to answer any questions we had. The room was basic but comfortable, and quite big by Japanese standards. Given how affordable this place was, we were very happy with the value we received.

Great place. Would recommend. It is not too far away from Shinjuku. There is a Tokyo metro station (shin-nakank) not too far away. If you are using the JR pass though, it is a bit far from Nakano station. It is in an area of Tokyo that is a bit quieter but still lots of restaurant choices and conbini. Would have awesome if they provided a pocket wifi but the wifi in the room was good. Would definitely stay back here again

A very good place to stay. All the amenities provided are very good. Near to shops and stores. Staffs are very helpful and responsive. Definitely recommended to all travelers.

Very nice and clean house. Toshi is a very nice and cool person!

The house was fantastic, the room was a bit smaller than I imagined but still provided me with everything I need. The location is also quite peaceful - if you want a get away ticket after a busy day in Tokyo, this is the perfect house for you.

The meeting near the metro station is very easy to find . Everyting was fine.

I only met Henry and Toshi, they were both friendly and helpful. Kimi also was great at communicating through (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) and mail with me quickly and efficiently. They were very accommodating. The place was clean however i had a slight smell problem. The location is easy to find once you understand how to work out the Tokyo metro and its conveniently located near Shinjuku and Shibuya. The bathroom facilities were very good, and the kitchen seemed so, but i did not use it! Overall a good stay!

cozy and nice place. most of all reasonable price in Tokyo near Shinjuku. And thanks for kind Henry's care to guest.

It is a great place with kindness people who welcome me. The place is clean and peaceful. I think it suits for single travelers. On the other hand, you can walk around 5 minute then you can see the subway station. It is convenience. Amazing experience!

Very good.

Great Host. Met me at the station to make sure I found the place and was flexible with my not amazing communication. The house is old but still kept well and other guests and residents very friendly. Thin walls but that is not really a problem. Overall very nice place and stay, would recommend if you have the chance

Ryu & Lily's place was perfect! Was travelling with just my boyfriend, so the space was just the right size for the 2 of us. Everything was very clean, and the location is PERFECT. It's super close to the Nakano station which was very convenient for us. They were even kind enough to let us leave our bags there after check out as our train out of Tokyo was only leaving in the afternoon. Thanks again Ryu & Lily! We hope to come back again soon!

Very cozy room and great experience! The location's good in Tokyo. We've definitely enjoyed our stay here.

A little bit far from JR station. The room is clear and bright. It is better to have a curtain to cover the street light. Overall, I had a great time in here.

Ryu and lily are passionate and helpful. Response fast and efficient. The apartment is very nice, tidy and comfy. Modern interior design, great atmosphere. I had a really great time living there. Just a little bit far from Nakano station. It take around 15mins. Besides, the price is affordable, definitely a good choice for those who are going on trip alone.

Great location and very comfortable place.

Nice apartment in a quiet residential area. Good size studio for Tokyo in a new building. Hosts were very helpful. Easy walk from Nakano station with lots of restaurants nearby.

I really liked the place. It was easy to get to and the price is also really good, even though it's in and near other major locations. It was also very comfortable, excellent for overcomig jet lag.

This place is pretty big for a single traveler, it is located in a quiet neighborhood in Nakano. Along the way there is a 7-11 store and other restaurunts so you will not get hungry. The Nakano station is less than 10 minute walk and it is convent to go to the ever so bustling Shinjuku and Shibuya. Ryu&Lily are also great hosts, they are very kind and understanding and communicate regularly regard with your questions.

I had stayed here for 8 days, it's really very comfortable and the room is same as the pictures. You can have high private space. It is very clean and full of pink. Yoko-san prepares some snacks put on the kitchen and keeps clean always. Yoko-san is a friendly and helpful person, she let me put the luggage in the house after I ended up staying. Thanks so much for her when I caused the inconvenience.

Yoko is a very good host, she insisted to pick me up from the station even it was about 12am! The place is very clean & comfortable, and there has a supermarket & convenient store nearby. I would love to stay in Yoko's place again definitely!

I am so happy to live in Yoko's house, it is so neat and comfortable. Yoko is good at English, so there is no trouble to communicate with her in English or Japanese. Just feel free to talk to Yoko if you have any question. Nearly everthing you want is in the house. And Yoko prepares a lot of snacks for us. The bed in my room is soft and there is an air conditioner in the room so that you don't need to worry about the temperature. Besides, the location is good, it takes only 6 min to arrive at the metro station. I strongly recommend that you live here\()/

Yoko's place is very big for Japan and very comfortable. Because there were a lot of guests coming the same day as me Yoko was very stressed and we barely got to speak, however she was very polite. The place is definitely a little hard to find even with Yoko's very detailed directions (the address on Airbnb does not work with (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps). It is also a considerable walk from the train. But once I got there everything was great, and it was very convenient to Nakano and Shinjuku. All around I would recommend this place!

Just came back from a quick stay in Tokyo where I stayed in Yoko's house. Location - very good. Yoko's place is just a short stroll from Numabuko station on Seibu Shinjuku line, 4 stops to Takadanobaba, 6 stops to Shinjuku station. House - Perfect Neat, new, well decorated, very clean and above all with a lot of space. In the common spaces, as in the kitchen there is a lot of sunshine, you can find all you need to prepare a lunch, there is a washing machine, a fridge, a microwave, a kettle, and also complimentary food to grab when you're a back from a busy day in the city. The bathrooom and the toilet are clean and well equipped with bath towels, shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, hairdryer and even face masks :) Wi fi connection available and very strong in the kitchen. The room - very confortable I was in the 2D room, the smallest one. A cosy room with lot of space for the lugguage and a big wardrobe. There is a window for the sunshine and an air conditioner to warm or freeze the air. I really liked it. The only thing that I would say was the wi fi connection that was very poor in my room. I saw also the other rooms (as one day I was so lucky to be the only guest) and I can say that are just as showed in the pictures. Beautiful and bigger, one of them has even a balcony, and one is a japanese style room with tatami and futon! Yoko is a real kind host, she will help you in everything you would need but at the same time she is a very discrete person. Last consideration is for the price. For the position and all the facilities written above, Yoko's place is quite unbeatable. No doubts, if I would come in Tokyo again, Yoko's place will be the place.

It is a wonderful place to stay.... I love it's quietness, cleanliness, spacious. Yogo san is very helpful and a very pleasant and nice lady. I feel like living in my own home... few minutes walking distance to the train station. There is supermarket near to the Mumabukuro Station. I dropped by to buy my drinks and snacks before heading back to Yoko's place . I will recommend Yoko's place to all my friends.

Yoko is a super good host that she is caring, nice, helpful and talkative! Her house is super cozy, clean, and you must have enough privacy after you check-in!! Strongly recommend girls to live in!!! I m very satisfied with yoko's house^^!!!

Yoko's place is actually big than what i expected. What i love about her place is place is that it is very convenient going to The tourist spots such as Shibuya, Shinjuku which i 1 train ride from her place. Yoko prepared even some snacks and toiletries and towls as well. It is very organized and Yoko even picked me up form the train station to ensire that i will not get lost.

Yasuyuki's place was clean and welcoming, really close to Shinjuku and only 20 minutes to get into Tokyo. His place is on a lovely high street with shops, bars, cafes and restaurants so I didn't have to go far if I wanted something to eat or to go and explore. I had everything I needed and Yasuyuki took me to an amazing restaurant and ordered for us as I couldn't read the menu! He was very helpful, and spoke good English so we were able to share experiences.

Our stay with Yasuyuki san was very pleasant! His place was clean and near to the train station; it only entailed a few minutes walk in a very nice small neighbourhood with plenty of places to eat and drink. Our host was very helpful, and during the last day I forgot my charger and he let me know this. He helpfully offered to meet us in Shinjuku station to give it back to us. He was very nice and helpful and we enjoyed our stay in Tokyo!

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The apartment was conveniently located by major spots in Tokyo but also the neighborhood it was in was so charming and had so many cool things to explore that I spent a lot of time around the area. The room was spacious for my needs, the futon was comfortable, and the balcony was a relaxing place to unwind after a long day. Yasuyuki-San was very accommodating and helped me out in so many ways. I was able to see parts of Tokyo I would not have seen otherwise. And he was always prompt in getting back to me if I had any questions. Def recommend.

I had to check-in really late and Yasuyuki-san fetched me from the station. Yasuyuki-san is a very nice host, gave me dango and treated me to delicious dinner. We shared cultures and political views over dinner. The unit is small but the room is big enough to sleep comfortably. The toilet is clean and the shower has a good heater. There are good restaurants around the place and a 24-hr laundrymat. Shinjuku is just 10mins away. I will definitely book here again and will recommend to my friends.

He's a nice personas. Thanks for everything :)

Yasuyuki is a really great host and a very nice guy. The neighborhood is interesting and busy with lots of little shops and restaurants. Right next door is a ready to eat take out kitchen, with very good food. The one thing to realize is that getting places on Japan by train takes time, so when he says 12 min from Shinkuku Station that would be on a perfect day. But for being in Tokyo his apt. is definitely doable for getting around. Yasuyuki is very helpful and friendly, making this a great place to stay.

One of the best places I've stayed in Japan. Cozy sofa bed with extra bed paddings provided. Location is very convenient, you can travel to Ikebukuro or Shinjuku easily. And not to mention 24 hours convini are just a stone's throw away; well, actually just across the street! The owner, Yasu-san is one of the nicest people you can find in Tokyo, wonderful person to talk to and now, a great friend of mine. Would go back there to stay when I go Tokyo again! Btw, it's possible to watch the sunrise from the balcony.

离地铁站很近,离新宿一个地铁站的距离,我们根据谷歌地图,很顺利就找到住处啦

Thanks very much for the arrangement from Ofra remotely. Takayoshi prepared me the wonderful breakfast every morning during my stay. I also learned a lot about Japanese and Jewish from the chat with open-minded Takayoshi every night. My Wi-Fi AP was forgot in living room at the last night but I found it inside my shoe when I left in the early morning alone. It's so sweet. Thanks for your hosting, Takayoshi and Ofra.

I had a lovely time staying at the Maezawa residence during my trip to Tokyo. Although my stay was short, I was well taken care of and I felt the warm welcome from Takayoshi-san and his mother. Takayoshi-san was a great host and we had interesting conversations about Japan and the Japanese culture. I even had a bit of some Japanese lesson. He makes delicious breakfast too. His mother, oba-chan, is lovely and sweet, and despite the language barrier, she still tried to speak to me. She is very cheerful and I felt at home with their company. The house is very lovely as well and located in a quiet residential area near Nakano station and only one stop away from Shinjuku station which is easy access to any railway lines. There are little shops around the area and it is also near Broadway mall where I went for my last minute shopping. My room is nice and the futon is very comfortable. The airconditioning runs fine and it also has its own balcony if you need a bit of fresh air. It was so comfortable and I was able to rest well after my trip from Osaka. I highly recommend staying in the Maezawa's if ever you are going to Tokyo. It is a home away from home and your chance to experience true Japanese hospitality. Once again, thank you for taking care of me during my entire stay and I would definitely stay here again for my next trip in Japan. :)

The host Takayoshi san is a friendly and knowledgeable person.He is also as a "Karate(空手道) sensei.IF you want to make a friend with the local Japanese or experience the Karate (Monday only) or just looking for a quite and comfortable room,so there it is.I believe you will have the good memories when you live here. Review by Jason Wu from Taipei Taiwan.

I'm so happy I stayed at Ofra and Takayoshi's place. I didn't have the chance to meet Ofra in person but we were in communication all the time and we talked in (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) during my stay. I had pleasant conversations with Takayoshi and Lubica who was staying there at the time. I think we made a good team. I enjoyed the time we spent together. One night Takayoshi cooked for us an amazing and delicious curry. I have really good memories of my staying, even it was just for 2 days. The house is spacious and in a very quiet and relaxing spot of Tokyo, but also very close to Shinjuku. Definitely I'll go back in the future!

This was my first time to use Airbnb and also first time to travel alone but Maezawa San has made my trip wonderful! The house was very nice for people who would like to explore how local Japanese people's daily life. Takayoshi and her mother were both nice and welcoming. And Takayoshi likes to chat with guests and explain about the Japanese history and culture, and also sharing his own amazing story about Karate and Israel. The house is located 10mins from Nakano station and the neighourhood was nice and quiet. And if you want to go for food or shopping you can easily do that near Nakano station. There are restaurants that open til late night or even 24/7. A few convenient store also can be found easily. Once you get on to the subway it is easy to go to anywhere, Shinjuku is just 5 mins away, and Ikebukuro, Harajuku and also Shinuya are all nearby. After all I would high recommend Maezawa San's place. It would be great if you want to try something different, not the typical hotel/shopping style of travel. Although i didn't have the oppurtunity to meet Ofra personally, she has welcomed me through (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) and also Takayoshi showed me many pictures of their family. Besides, Takayoshi also offered me to attend his Karate lesson, unfortunately I had to meet my friends and couldn't attend, but I would highly recommend you to go if you are free. Lastly, the house is in good condition and the room is although not big but cozy.

If you are looking for a real japanese place to enjoy japanese style life this is your place! You will stay in a good company! This home is familiar and I have been as my own house! ^_^ You must to know that this house is not a hotel, you won't be alone. And I prefer this because I love company! For me is better and I didn't need to stay in an inpersonal hotel. In this house you will have all basic things you may need: food, a place to sleep, a place to have a shower, wifi, air conditioner, a place to eat and the best of all a place to enjoy a good conversation with Takayoshi and Ofra (also drinking sake ;-) ) For me these days have been all the best days of my life visiting Tokio. I loved stay in Ofra's and Takayoshi's home! They are adorable people that I miss so much! If I back to Tokio someday I would like to stay with them again in their home.

Home away from home! Ofra sent me directions ahead of time and had her husband, Takayoshi, meet me at a bus stop to walk me to their place. When I arrived, they showed me around their clean home, offered me a drink and food, and made me feel at home. Takayoshi makes a delicious and filling breakfast. He also spent hours talking to me about culture, politics, etc., and went out of the way to ensure that I enjoyed my stay. I would definitely stay here again!

It was such a pleasure staying at Ofra and Takayoshi's house, even though I didn't get to meet Ofra herself as she was away at the time. Though I was delighted to meet Baba instead, who was a joy to be around:) Takayoshi and his mum are one of the nicest people I've ever met. I really enjoyed our time together at breakfast when we would chat away like old friends. Breakfast was also cooked and served every morning by Takayoshi and there was more than enough to last me through lunch! The house was lovely and tidy and located in a quiet yet lively neighbourhood. Nakano was very convenient to get to most places in central Tokyo, especially with the metro. The room and shared bathroom was clean and the futon bed was very warm and comfortable. Takayoshi and Baba were very accommodating to all my needs. Takayoshi was also kind enough to carry my very heavy luggage up and down the stairs for me. I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you again, Takayoshi and Baba, for making my stay very memorable and being one of the highlights of my trip in Japan! I would love to see you both again in the future. All the best xx

I met Kath not far from the train station and we walked over to the apartment ( only a few mins walk). She's super nice and pointed out the convenience store which is just at the bottom of the building. The apartment is on level 2, there is a lift for easy access. The room is nice and cosy, the pillows were awesome! My stay was a week long. I had a few things to ask Kath and she was always quick to respond and help me out, very happy with my stay there.

Awesome host - can recommend great eats ans places to visit. Very welcoming. location is great very near to shinjuku area, lots of insteresting places near the area.

It was a very good experience for me to stay at Jay&Kath apartment. The unit was nice. And last but not least, Nakano is really awesome.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Kath was pleasant and accommodating, she was also patient. My wife and I traveled separately and she arrived 4 hours late due to plane delay. Kath met us nearly 5 hours after we were to arrive (8pm) to show us to the apartment. We also discovered that evening when checking our internet accounts that the wi-fi was not working. :( I messaged Kath through AirBNB and the next morning while we were at breakfast she dropped off a mobile router for us to use until the other could be fixed or replaced. Since we were not using an international calling plan, this became our lifeline to our business in the US as well as family and friends during our stay. Kath went above and beyond the call of duty after our stay as well , messaging me that we had left an item behind and wanted to know how to get it to us. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Thank you Kath for everything.

Really nice neighborhood, very close to the JR line station and to the Nakano Broadway where there are a lot of options to eat. The apartment had everything we needed and the communication with the host was flawless.

Kath is perfect host. easy to comunicate. perfect location near nakano station. very convenience to post office. supermaket just next door. very clean and big space room.

Kath has a wonderful apartment that is exactly like it is shown in the pictures. It's clean and quiet and quite close to nakano station and that is only, 5 minutes to shinjuku. It's a great location for a base to explore Tokyo!

This place is amazing, everything clean and tidy, definitely will stay there again if I travel Tokyo again!

Hands down - the best AirBnB apartment I've been in. An all white, super clean, contemporary design. The room has pin-code entry. So no worry of losing keys to the apartment. All the essentials, a spacious shower, very cosy double bed, large enclosure to hang clothes. TV was installed the day I had arrived, which was cool. Aileen provided a manual for us, which translates every appliance with Japanese instructions to English. She's a super responsive host; every question and concern I had was promptly answered. All of this was real close to the action of Shibuya, Tokyo. This means east subway access, and tonnes of cabs available to hail. Deffo renting this spot when I come back the next time. Love from LDN, Shakka

perfect!!

First time using airbnb and it went well! Aileen was a great communicator; I had trouble going into the building and she was very helpful and responsive. The place was clean and looked like the pictures. There was also a manual she created for the appliances which is great since everything is in Japanese. This apartment was closed walk to the subway station and local restaurants.

Great brand new apartment, very clean, well located, well equipped with necessities, near to train station, convenient shops, various foods and etc! Very responsive and accommodating host! Highly recommended!

A really good place, clear, tidy & easy to access! Would recommend to my friends as well :)

Great apartment! Very new, clean and close to the train. Has all the essentials needed for a pleasant stay in Tokyo.

The apartment is clean and equipped. We didn't meet Aileen but the communication was really efficient and precise. The apartment is very close to JR Nakano station. We would recommend

everything was great! the room was smaller then i expected but more then enough room for me and my bf. She also had a guide to tokyo book and that was helpful. I had few questions, nothing to do with the room, but she answered them right away and gave me a detailed description!

First of all, the place is so cute which is full of Totoro. I like the atmosphere of the room. Also location is nice to go to the city of Tokyo so I was able to enjoy enough. I wish I could stay longer so next time I will definitely come back this place! The host responded shortly which was helpful. Thank you:)

Yui was a good host and quick on replies which made communication easy. It is clean and was very comfortable for us. It is located near transport, shops and restaurants just a short walk away. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again!

The apartment was amazing and cute. It is only a short walk from sun plaza and many places to eat. It was clean and comfortable. Finding and accessing was simple with Yui's instructions.

Nice room, very clean, nice location easy to find and host respond very fast... strongly recommend

Yui's apartment was great, we would stay there again. Well recommended

Yui's place was very clean and cosy. It is very close to Nakano station, which has very good connections to major areas like Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Harajuku. I had a very pleasant experience overall. Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely time staying at Yui and Suguro's little flat in Nakano! Everything was perfect, and so comfortable, even though it was compact. We were amazed at how efficient the apartment is, even though it is small. The apartment was perfectly fine for 2 American adults with lots of luggage (we live out of suitcases on an international Broadway tour). The directions to the flat that Yui provided were incredibly easy to read, and we had no problem getting to the key. (For future lodgers: the building is before the hill. Don't make the mistake of hauling your bags up the steep hill, only to find that the house is on the corner of the first cross street.) We loved the location as we were able to get around Tokyo very easily-- especially with the pocket wifi available to us. Yui and Suguro were incredibly attentive and helpful to any needs we had. 100% recommend to any one who wants to experience Tokyo tiny living!
