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.

Alfie is nice, hospitality is just the place for our big boxes dragged four people a bit far from the JR line, very quiet residential Thank rich breakfast hospitality.

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.

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.

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!!

Beautiful home and in an excellent location.

Amazing house in a fantastic location. Sharp modern and spacious over four levels. Return to the tranquility and quiet of this beautiful home after enjoy the delights of Tokyo. Host met us at the house and showed us around and made a really welcome. There was even bubbles waiting for us and breakfast things in the fridge. Perfect for two families.

A 4 storey townhouse in the a high end area of tokyo. Very quiet neighbourhood with everything at your fingertips. Richard was a very accomodating host who was helpful in everyway possible. Very enjoyable

Richard and Junko were great hosts. They stocked the fridge before our arrival and gave us a nice bottle of champagne to welcome us. Richard had awesome recommendations on transportation and where to visit. They checked in regularly to ensure we were ok, but gave us plenty of space to enjoy their beautiful apartment. The apartment is located in the quiet part of town, but only a few blocks away from the hip and happening streets.

Love the house very much, the host was very helpful and got chance to meet with the host. The place was very clean. Everthing was excellent and well described. Will stay here for sure for next trip. Good environment, groceries just walk away from the house. 10 minutes walk to subway. Fully recommended for a family up to 7-8 people. Spend a lot of time in the living room. 5 star...

Hello Richard Thank you for let us share this beautiful house in the best location of Tokyo. The photos on Airb&b are just the great reality of the house. Very spacious and comfortable. I work in design and staying there was just exceptional.. I felt at home. Shopping, cooking, hosting friends ... Every one felt at home For people who like to walk, just do it, it's so easy, near best spots of Tokyo. For sure I'll come back What to say more, just thank you and thank you again Kind regards Francois PS: the wifi , so cool. We were connected inside and outside. Just perfect

Great from the first to the last moment! The house is really beautiful, and located in a fantastic area. The roof terrace is very nice to enjoy in the evening, and the host is very kind and helpful. That made our stay a fantastic one in Tokyo, and if we come back, we'll go back in this great house! Thanks again for the easy check in and check out and the good advices !!!

Richard was a wonderful host, the house was wonderful, in a great location with all the amenities you could ever wish for. He was quick in communicating and gave excellent instructions to the house. I have recommended him to all my friends!

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

Well worth it

All the services are good or bad premise service price! This is an affordable accommodation, check-out from the scheduled start to communicate very smooth! I stayed four nights, the room was clean, exports to two minutes away from the new subway station No. 4 Nakano, Tokyo, convenient to everywhere. There are convenience stores, small supermarkets, 24-hour fast food chains around.

the apt was in a good position near metro the room was small for 2 people, everything else was simple but fine, there was a washing machine but the dryer didnt work the last day there was no water because of a water pump problem so Martin gave us a refund still the place is worth the money

Our stay was smooth... clean place with all the necessary things we needed... also very near to the subway... i recommend this place.

The neighood was fine. Its about three stations from Shinjuku. I didnt expect the house like this. Its like a studio flat. There are four rooms and anyone has a different room, You shared bathroom and kitchen. But the house is fine. I havent seen the owner.

Such a good places it's reasonable price and convenient to take Tokyo metro. Recommended!

Great place to stay. Nice and clean room. Close to subway and JR station. Great neighbourhood with many places to explore. The hosts were very helpful with directions and ensuring we were comfortable during our stay

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

Nice rooms, pretty central location, although getting to Shinjuku Station will take a bit longer than 5 minutes.

Position came good environment is a closed bedroom a little smaller than I imagined point of feeling

No further comment.

As of unmanned Dmitry basic foreigners from the beginning to the end. E-mail also was all English. The person in English Allowed not wishing to be bound by time I think that it was easy to use.

Cheap, is a beautiful room. Environment around also quiet, traffic is also convenient! A short walk from the Marunouchi Line is about 8 minutes. It early also supports the landlord, I think that nice.

新し目の内装で居心地がよかったです。元は企業の寮だったようで、大人数で過ごせるようにお手洗いやシャワーなどが十分な個数設置されています。タオルはないので持参した方がいいです。 シャワーだけで湯船はありませんが、湯船につかりたいときは近所に清春湯という夜中の2時まで営業している銭湯があるので気軽にいけます。 周囲は落ち着いた住宅街で、夜に女性一人で周辺を歩いても危険な感じはしませんでした。また晩ご飯には近くにある居酒屋いろはさんがおすすめです。お魚が美味しくて一人でふらっといってもお客さんたちと楽しく話せます。 It's a good place to stay. Enough number of showers and toilets are available. Notes towels are not provided so I recommend you to bring them by yourself. In the neighberhood, there is a public bath "Kiyoharu-yu" near the place so you can soak in the big bath and use watching machine there if you want. It opens from 5pm to 2am and taking a bath costs around 500 JPY. The place is in a residential district so it's enough quiet and safe even for a single young woman. I found a good izakaya restaurant "Iroha" near the Nakano Shinbashi station, where I enjoyed nice fish sashimi and a casual conversation with other customers.

thx ,yoko, you are the best householder I have ever met. The lovely pink house is exactly the same as the photo shows, clean calm and comfortable.rooms are perfect with handy amenities and facilities.thanks for providing so much amazing food for me as a gift, I really appreciate that.and the location is a more residential area that is not so busy,lots of interesting small stores around

Very cute and clean place in a very quiet neighborhood. Conveniently located and easy to get to from major parts of Tokyo. Only saw Yoko a few times but very kind. She waited up late for me the day of check in and there were also new snacks in her kitchen. Very good and quick communication. The room is of perfect size with a comfortable bed and big windows for sunlight. Never ran into a problem with sharing of the bathroom. Would stay again next time I visit Tokyo.

A cozy home situated in a lovely neighborhood. Highly recommended if you would like to experience local Japanese life style. The location is convinient (5 stops away from seibu shinjuku), the place is clean and the host is friendly and helpful. The only downside is the bed was a little bit small. Overall I'm happy with my experience here!

It was a pleasant stay at Yoko's. The room and the house is exactly as described and on the photos. The house was spacious, clean and facilities are of high standard and satisfy grown-ups like myself :-) Only thing was that the bed was a bit too narrow for me but that may be because I lived outside of Japan too long. Yoko was a lovely host. Communication with her prior, during and after the stay was smooth. She lives just below and always willing to help while respecting independence of her guests. The house was full of her caring thoughts. Numabukuro is a cute down to earth residential neighbourhood- with streets with small local shops and restaurants, many local small but historical shrines and temples. All in all, my first airbnb experience in Japan was absolutely positive. I highly recommend Yoko's house!

It was pretty cute town is in Numazu buku. Deuryeoyo week's stay and is recommended for those who like to feel that residents in this neighborhood feel! The rooms are good and pretty pink notgido Jim seemed equally wide and pictures, cozy lighting was perfect! Especially the bathroom was clean, wide wash comfortably throughout the trip! Accommodation can also be used in a convenience store near the station opposite the yen atm machines distance to the train station, just fold was great also gopeulttae sameokgi snacks! Tokyo trip was happier thanks to a good home. The Yoko phase, thanks :) (♡)

Yoko was sweet enough to meet me at the train station and help me to the hostel! Everything in the room was clean and well-kept and looked just like the pictures! I had a wonderful time at this hostel

I loved my stay at Yoko. She met me at the station and gave me a tour of the house. My room is comfortable and nice. There's candies, fruits and bread for the guests. I will definitely stay here again when i go back to Tokyo.

I really loved to stay at Yoko's place. The room was simple, but spacious and functional. Very clean as well. My room was at the second floor, independent from Yoko's apartment, and three more rooms were rented by other travelers. I liked this feature because it gave me the opportunity of making new friends :) Communicating with Yoko has been easy because of her very good level of English. I will definitely choose her apartment again next time I'll come to Tokyo!

Room very good, very clean, very clean bathing place Yeah, the owner is very warm, very late to the station to meet me halfway and asked if I would go to the convenience store, away from the station is also very close, very convenient transportation, home Wang super warm, very cute! Recommended to stay

You must be a dog lover to stay here.

Very good landlord and a very comfortable room, I like dogs

Katsuaki san is a very warm person, very friendly. He referred to the understanding of a good friend. His house is good. But dogs have taste, I have more accustomed to, if you do not like or do not fit medium-sized dog, please consider.

Landlord is hella good people! Eager plus, I think that a kind person. The dog is also Truly cute. Because I also like dogs, but is completely calm. Also If you have any edge, then by all means please!

If you love a dog, I recommend reserving this house. I was sleeping with the dog.

very impressive! It also close from the train station is convenient. Katsuaki Mr. You very friendly!

The room was clean, I was able to spend very relaxed because it was a private room. Because it was also kind person of the owner, and recommended by all means if the dog is calm.

Nice little room in a quiet neighborhood, but not too far from Shinjuku. I don't think you can do much better for the price, definitely a good choice if you don't need to be directly on the Yamanote line. The room is as the listing describes, and I had no problems at all during my stay. Henry was great and seemed like he'd be quick to help if anything did come up.

I spend a good time during the Toshi,Kimi &Henry 's share house. It's a good valuation to stay here. They like to contact me with email, for the check in morning I forget to check my mailbox. The traffic is quiet convenient.

Extremely cozy room and pleasant neighbourhood. It was nice and quiet throughout my stay, and even though the walls were really thin (i could hear the tv in the next room sometimes) i had a great rest. Bed was comfortable too. Supermarket with a lot of different kind of food is nearby. Overall really really great stay! Thank you very much!

the location is perfect in quiet and cute Nakano, the other tenants were really nice and helpful, the communication was easy. the bunk bed is a little small for anyboday taller than 1,70m but apart from that, it's a great cheap little base for your walks around Tokyo!

I felt very welcomed and the tenants were so nice, and everything was like it was described!

It was a cozy house, pretty nice location! I would like to stay here again!

Henry was a great host and made me feel very welcome. He is also very quick to respond to any messages and checks up on the house almost everyday. The house itself is lovely and in a great location. Everything was clean and this house also has a very nice rooftop area which I loved! Would definitely recommend.

I loved this room! I was unlucky on my first day there because my suitcase broke and I had to take a taxi to reach the house, so I couldn't meet the hosts at the place and time we agreed on before. But they were very kind and understood the situation (thank you so much!). Besides, the guest who was in my room before me didn't check out when they should have... So I spent one night in another room. But Toshi fixed the problem as soon as he could. He kept in contact to update me on the situation and in the end I could move to my actual room the day after. Then he helped me to get rid of my broken suitcase, which is oversized garbage, so it must be disposed of in a special way. I'm very grateful for all the help! As for the house, it was very nice japanese architecture. There are some rules to follow but that's only natural since it's a share house. They were well explained to me when I arrived there. The housemates are nice too. The house is located in a residential neighborhood, so it is very quiet overall - I liked the scenery around the river. I would definitely come back in this room again!

Jun was always available for further information and gave us pointers that helped out while in Tokyo. Highly recommend.

Place was clean ans really good. It's not really big but enough. Location is good, you are in 30 minutes to Shinjuku by train. Neighbourhood is calm and we liked not to stay in a big touristic area. We did not meet with Joarder but the self check in was easy and he was always available to answer some questions on place to go or any tips. Really good experience^^

From your application, Thank you respond kindly to stay. Close to the delicious shops (popular tendon store) was very satisfied. Was accommodation also serves as a stay and work, but the personal computer work also Wifi was able stable easy connection. Thank you very much. Good your personality handsome host's! Once again, because I think that will take care, the clause thank you.

The apartment is great for a weekend! I enjoyed my days there...

Nice location near nakano and nogata station. Quite and the host gave me a lot of information actively!

Joarder' communication and flexibility made it an easy stay!

Great place in tokyo

I had an awesome stay in Tokyo, staying at Joarder's apartment was just what we needed and it took all the stress out of the trip. We did not have to worry about anything, the place was exactly as described and he was extremely helpful and went out of his way to be a good host. Before we left for Tokyo until all the way up to his front door he was checking in with me through messenger and helping me get there. He even offered to meet us at the train station but we did not need that because of how easy it was to get to his apartment. From Tokyo station to his apt was simple, even for us first-timers. The walk from Nogota station to his apt was very short and quick and was through a nice neighborhood which had many nice places to eat. My favorite thing was that it is an easy train ride from his apt to the JR line so you can get to Shinjuku, Hara juku, and Shobiya very easily. The room was a good size and the bed fits two people comfortably. The bathroom was very clean. I liked that the other room was Joarders roommate, so you know that you are sharing the apt. with someone he trusts and knows, and also his roommate was nice and very quiet. Joarder was the perfect host. He was so friendly and hospitable. I instantly felt happy about my decision to stay there after meeting him. I recommend this place for 1 to 2 people who are looking for a nice, quiet, safe, clean, and dependable place to stay. Thanks again Joarder! See you again some day!

Great location near to train station. Only downside is no bathroom and can hear train passing sound

Everything's described as it is. Shotaro-san provides the basic necessities, even umbrellas, and we really appreciate it since there was a downpour on our third day. What surprised me positively was the pocket wifi because it's faster and stable than expected (based on other reviews). Really clean and peaceful place. :)

The place is clean and near Numabukuro station wc is comvenient. Lots of local resto and 711. Bed is smallish side of queen but theres a good sofa bed. There are shortcomings like no shower but has a WC loo and train passing noise can be bothersome but we know about it beforehand and are okay with it. The price point is just right for these shortcomings. Heater and Ac in one and worked well.... Overall enjoyable stay here....book it!

Its so convenient, its only takes you about 1 minute from the station by walk! I really enjoy staying there, the bed is really really comfortable! And thats so big for one person! The only minor problem is the wifi is quite slow as it is a portable 3g wifi. All in all, anyway, I recommend you guys to stay there!

The house is hidden and tucked away down a small alleyway making it safe and secure but quite hard to find the first time round. Other than that, you get what you see. Overall the place is fairly small but has everything you need from fridge/freezer, hair dryer, iron, TV, kettle, microwave etc. Please realise that the joint has NO SHOWER which is kindly indicated by Shotaro. Do not let that put you off as there is a private shower less than 10 mins walk away, not to mention that Numabukuro is in a great location close to districts such as Shinjuku, Shibuya and Harajuku. There are restaurants and shops literally around the corner including a handy 7-eleven which is open 24 hours. We got our snacks and basics from there, very useful. Overall the stay was pleasant and cozy. We'll definitely be back. Japan is awesome and you need MORE than a week to explore Tokyo alone.

Nice little flat in a great location (15 mins train ride to Shinjuku station) with an extremely helpful and accommodating host, Shotaro replied very quickly to any questions we had. The flat is a little on the small side (I'm very tall!) and doesn't have a shower (though this is clearly stated in the description), but all in all we had a good stay.

Just take his apartment. You cant get a better one.

Walking station immediately of the place, there is a bus stop is very convenient. Because through even a bus from the nearest bus stop to the center line Nakano Station, you can use virtually two routes. The room it was also good and clean.

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 friendly host. Just because a house is cold shade ... Heaters Heating twist as the heater was too dry. So gyeondyeot a hot pack. See Korea - hot pack those required! But accessibility is good ~ And the beds were uncomfortable thing because the sofa bed.

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.

Station and convenience store was also good near the convenient and easy to use.

Good choice, location.
