    Incredible Area and Stylish Apartment!

    Would have loved an iron! We washed some clothes but then couldn’t wear them because they were so creased. Also perhaps a secondary lock inside as the Apt level is accessible by the public (and there is bar/live music venue on weekends on the floor below) just for an added layer of security! In saying that I never felt unsafe and never saw anyone else other than guests on our floor.

    We loved everything about the property! It was so stylish, big and comfy and perfect for our stay in Tokyo. Shimokitazawa is such a fun area, there is cafes, bars, shopping (lots of vintage) and the train line right on your doorstep! You are spoilt for choice. Beds were super comfy, the bathroom configuration was perfect for a group, one end was a toilet with a door and other end was a shower with a door and the huge double sink/bathroom space in the middle. We ate out mostly but the kitchen seemed very well equipped! Would definitely stay again!

    The carpet in the living room could be cleaned, otherwise everything was great.

    The apartment was so spacious and well designed. We loved having a kitchen with a large table to plan our days in. The location was also great with lots of amazing restaurants.

    Clean, Spacious, comfortable home base in Shimo Kitazawa

    • Standard Apartment
    • Stayed 4 nights

    My only gripe was with the group people staying above us. It *was* golden week, but it sounded like there were a ton of people up there with different sleeping schedules. They did not respect the quiet hours, and we could hear footsteps, banging, and yelling from our bed. We ended up putting on white noise on our phone most evenings in order to get some rest. I'm all for people having a good time on their vacations, but not till 2 am and starting up again at 6 am. We were there one night after the loud neighbors had left, and the noise level was actually very reasonable - normal street noise, but no yelling or banging. One thing the property might do is add some more rugs or noise dampening on the fifth floor so that the folks staying on the 4th floor can have a little more quiet in the case of loud neighbors like this.

    Great location, easy checkin, and really well decorated good sized location. A few people have mentioned the shower is small - which is totally true - but I think they did a good job with the space for the bathroom. It allows privacy and has room for someone to get dressed outside the shower while others are using the sink or toilet. The added laundry was a huge plus too. It is ONE machine that takes more than 4 hours to run, so don't try to do a "quick load" - but it was very nice to have since I had been traveling for a few weeks. Additionally, my partner and I are vegan, and there were so many great vegan restaurants nearby AND an organic grocery store open till 10 pm! Huge plus!

    There is a cafe/club on floor below so there was some noise in evening, but didn't bother us overall.

    Great place located in Setagaya - right in the thick of shops and eateries. Conveniently located within short walk of subway station, with numbers shops and eateries to explore. Short subway ride to Shibuya. Self check-on worked out without problems. Hosts were generally very responsive via email.

    Quite satisfied overall and will be staying here again.

    - The entrance was sorta hard to find and walked past it for the first two days we stayed there, so a more conspicuous sign may be needed. - Google Map guided us onto a steep slope when we first arrived so we were worried about moving around with large suitcases. - Sorta loud at night - Not enough space above one of the beds and narrowly missed hitting my head when climbing up.

    The location is close to the metro station and there are many second-hand shops and restaurants in the area, so very convenient. The room was surprisingly big for a Tokyo hotel room and way exceeded our expectations in that regard, with a small living room and a large table. It was quite clean and comfy by my standards.

    Didn't like the bathroom, that is a real let down for me. The shower, is a sort of plastic shower like in a motorhome. Seriously not to the standard of all the hotels with stayed over 3 weeks. The bathroom is big but not well thought through. The + is the washer dryer but that is it for the bathroom. Time to invest in proper material and design.

    THE LOCATION!! Shimokitazawa is an amazing place to stay, always buzzing with cool people. Mecca of vintage shops. Direct train to Shibuya or few stops from Shinjuku. It was nice to come back everyday. Excellent ramen restaurants. We liked Illi com superior apartment 402. Very cool and big. We were 3 and found it great to have our own space at time.

    Nothing negative to say.

    The space was exactly as described and more. Loads of space and comfortable. We really appreciated that the shower had it's own room outside of the sink area so people could get ready at the same time. The instructions with pictures on how to find the place was very helpful. There is plenty to eat around too.

    It was a spectacular room to book and I would stay again, however it was a little tricky to find initially. The signage was very subtle - perhaps something a little bolder and bigger or even some street photos as part of the check in pack.

    Awesome room size, as per the pictures. Very comfy beds. Awesome for travelling with my 3 year old kids. Had plenty of room and didn't feel like we were all stacked on top of each other. The staff were friendly and happy to help, including with a request for additional towels.

    The inability to open a window and allow in some fresh air but this didn’t impact our stay and we loved the property.

    Contactless check in was seamless and the owners felt easy to get a hold of if needed. They were very responsive and helpful to questions in the lead up to our stay and shared clear instructions for finding the property.
