Guest Reviews

• Guest (10/5): - とても丁寧にご対応いただき嬉しかったです。
• Sophie (8/5): - Spacious, clean, great shower, close to transport links/shops, lovely host. Wasn’t as much privacy as we expected, we had a floor to ourselves with two rooms and a bathroom, but we did not realise there was no door to upstairs, so we had to be extra quiet when talking.
• Ayame (10/5): -
• ワタナベ (8/5): Good place !! - 清潔さ We really have to get out at 10:00
• Hayato (9/5): - 清潔感が非常にあり、居心地が良かった。 特になし。
• Jones (10/5): -
• Keishin (10/5): 最高 - 安い
• Miku (10/5): -
• CHIA JUNG (9/5): -
• Lilla-Emese (10/5): - The owners were super nice
• Olivia (6/5): - The kids absolutely loved the loft bedroom—it was such a fun feature for them! The location was really convenient and close to the station, which made getting around easy. The place was mostly clean, though there were a few areas that could have been tidier. Overall, a good stay. Check-in was a bit difficult. We were supposed to connect to the internet to access the property lock, but the internet connection was poor so this didn’t work. Instead, we had to use a remote-control key, taking it with us when leaving and placing it back in a bowl when we returned. During our stay, some aspects felt uncomfortable. One morning we left very early and returned late, and the owner messaged me about it, which made it feel like we were being monitored. The owner lives in the same complex on level 2, while the accommodation is spread across levels 1 and 3. While this could be fine, the layout felt lacking in privacy. Each level had its own bathroom, but there was no lock separating the corridor areas, meaning anyone could potentially walk through the space. The bedrooms had their own locks, but the bathrooms were located in the corridor outside the rooms, which didn’t feel very private—especially with young children. I ended up sleeping with the kids while my husband slept in the other room. We weren’t aware this was the layout when booking; it may be more suitable for teenagers than families with young children. Checkout also felt unusual. The owner came up to inspect the room before we left, which felt awkward. She did kindly hold our luggage after checkout, which we appreciated, but when we returned to collect it we felt rushed, and I ended up outside sorting through bags at the last minute. There were also comfort issues. The beds did not have proper sheets, and the pillows were thin foam pillows, which were not comfortable. This was the sixth accommodation we stayed in during our Japan trip, and unfortunately it was by far the worst. Overall, the stay felt uncomfortable due to the lack of privacy and the check-in and checkout process, and unfortunately we wouldn’t stay here again.

• Tetsuya (10/5): 控えめに言って最高 - 駅から近く、綺麗でオシャレでした 悪いところは無いのですが、近隣の情報（銭湯やこどもの遊び場等）の情報を得られるとありがたいですり
• Aileen (10/5): Excellent location. Great value for money. - Location was good. Close to train stations. Lots of food options around. Quiet neighborhood. We had a very pleasant stay.
• Nicholas (7/5): Nice little oasis in an otherwise unremarkable area. Worked great for 2 adults and 3 children. - The location was convenient to the train station. Could have had sheets on the bed.

• Margie (10/5): - clean and comportable they have no parking,
• 藤崎 (10/5): -
• Peichun (9/5): 主人家很客氣，乾淨舒適，離JR大塚站約步行十分鐘，離池袋麵創房無敵家步行約20分。主人家很客氣，樓梯有點陡，但主人家幫忙將行李搬上下樓。語言英文可以通，進出有遙控器可以開門。 - 整體環境乾淨舒適，主人家還幫忙搬行李上樓。
• 芝綾 (10/5): -
• Ong (10/5): - Clean and convenient
• Yuna (10/5): -
• hibiki (7/5): -
• Arren (10/5): - Spacious, plenty of beds. Location is very close to the train station and plenty of restaurants around the area Going up the stairs is tough, especially while carrying luggage
• 藤田 (10/5): -
• Emi Kohli (10/5): - Era muy espacioso.
• Régis (9/5): Nous recommandons vivement 👍 - L'accueil, le propriétaire est très bienveillant. Les chambres sont spacieuses et confortables, et bien plus jolies en vrai que sur les photos ! Le quartier est calme, la gare est très facile d'accès et plein de restaurants et boutiques sont proches. Merci pour ce séjour au top ! Les lits de la chambre des enfants étaient un peu durs pour nous (mais c'est sûrement une question de goût, ce n'est pas dû à une literie de mauvaise qualité !) Nous aurions apprécié des rideaux occultants aux fenêtres pour la nuit.

• Tomoya (8/5): -
• Daniel (9/5): -
• KEITA (8/5): -
• Aline (8/5): Un bon hébergement pour Tokyo - La suite familiale à l’étage permet de disposer de 2 chambres distinctes et une salle de bains. Nous étions 5 et sans soucis en terme de place. Il faut monter 2 étages pour rejoindre la chambre. L’hôte nous aide à monter les bagages ce qui est confortable
• Soo-yong (9/5): Superb -
• Yao (10/5): Exceptional - Location is great, short walk if take the Limousine Bus from Haneda to Sunshine City Terminal. Short walk to west Ikebukuro and Sunshine city. My wife left her gold ring during our stay and the host kindly kept it for week until we had time to pick it up.
• Alisha (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location Excellent size room for a family of 5
• Cynthia (10/5): Nice and friendly guesthouse - Valuable, near Station, nice owner. Nearby have Sakura street and warm small garden, too sweet. Nope
• Juan (7/5): A clean and spacious room, but with noise issues, limited privacy, and remote location. - The host was very attentive and kindly allowed me to check in earlier than scheduled. He also let me leave my luggage on the property until the afternoon after check-out. The room was spacious and clean, and I had the best shower experience out of all the seven hotels I stayed at in Japan. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. While the bathroom and shower are private, they are located outside the room and open onto a shared area of the property. Because the room is right next to this common space, it’s easy to hear other guests walking and talking from early morning until late at night. The head of the bed is adjacent to the shoe storage area, so occasional noise from guests using it can be noticeable. Light sleepers might find it challenging to rest well, especially since the curtains also let in sunlight and streetlight during the night. The location is a bit far from major attractions, and there isn’t space for storing clothes, which is common in accommodations across Japan.The host lives upstairs, which didn’t cause any problems during my stay, but it’s something to be aware of depending on your preferences. Overall, while there are some positives, I personally might have chosen a different place had I known these details ahead of time. With a bit more planning, you can find options in Shinjuku or Ueno that may better suit your needs for a similar price.
• Martina (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice, clean, quiet and cozy place which met our expectations. Conveniently located, a few minutes from Otsuka station, Yamanote line. Kids loved the upper bed very much😉 Great communication with the host. Thank you!
• Susa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jake (9/5): Superb - Excellent location next to a tram stop and a short walk from the Yamanote line. Comfortable beds, clean and lots of space. Friendly hosts who are helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend staying here, me and my friends were all very impressed Only thing that could be improved is better blinds as they let in a lot of light in the morning.
• Stephane (9/5): Very good for our short stay. - Very nice host, accommodated our late arrival without issue. Great location and very quiet place.
• Emily (9/5): Superb -
• Trevor (8/5): Beautifully furnished, clean and comfortable rooms attached to private residence. - Great accommodation over two rooms for family. Real coffee on offer in the morning! Steep stair access might be an issue if you had heavy cases
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional - Ver friendly staff went above and beyond. When a typhoon was approaching, they immediately asked us if we wanted to stay longer than originally booked. 7 min walk from Otsuka stations, rigth next to an area with 7/11s, supermarkets and various restaurants. That we had to leave.
• Martin (9/5): First of two stays juli/august 2023 - Very friendly and helpful staff. Convenient location. Great 5 speaking. Everything is clean and modern. Directions were difficult to follow at night in the dark. But when we called the staff they came out to guide us to the apartment.
