    The room is small with no room to entertain guests but hey it’s Tokyo and the price is right.

    It’s in a good location and only 10min walk from Hikifune train station. It is fully equipped and bed is comfortable.

    The aircon took a while to adjust but the owner was helpful to help fix the issue.

    The location was convenient, as the train station was about 10 minutes walk away. There were many eateries nearby and a 7E about 2 minutes away. Besides that there was also a supermarket near the train station. The place is suitable for a solo traveller. The response from the owner is quite fast.

    The kitchen sink could use a bit of scrubbing. The floor felt a bit sticky not sure if it's the floor material. The sofa bed cover could use a good wash. Wifi barely connects But will still stay here if I'm in this area. The loft part is a bit high so I ended up using the sofa bed and comforter as my sleeping area.

    Very quiet location and have the basic amenities. Location is also good if you want to explore the Sumida River and Asakusa area, it is about a 30 minute walk to that area.

    Great Micro efficiency apartment, Good Value for a solo traveler

    Location is a little out of the way from the major attractions of the city. The space is a little tight, for a solo traveler ok, but as times there I felt a bit cramped, I didn't see really a good place to unpack clothing into. No curtains on the upper window to block early morning light

    Complete apartment with laundry, kitchenette, shower, iron, soap, and futon. This is a kind of micro apartment with a loft bed over the bathroom and toilet. It's a quick walk to a 7 Eleven or family mart. Great loft

    Tiny apartment,fully equipped, in a lovely and very quite neighborhood, at less than 10 minutes walk to Hikifune station. Comfortable futon upstairs (quite steep) under a low ceiling.

It also very secure, 1 locked door in the front and there is locked door for you room. The neighborhood is quiet. The host is very informative and ready to help.

    Even though the apartment has a washing machine, I had trouble finding places to hang my laundry to dry, and even then it took days because the humidity of the rain outside also made the room quite moist.

    The apartment was very small, but it was enough for 2 people. We had everything we needed for a week in Tokyo, and getting around was easy with convenience stores and the train station not too far away.

    - affordable - nearby combini - was able to arrive before check-in time when I asked to, and was able to leave my luggage at the apartment while the room was still being cleaned - there was a folder with English instructions/information - short walk to the station - tokyo skytree, Asakusa and other attractions nearby

    Wish it had a tv, even a small one for a little entertainment after a long/ short day out. Instructions on how to use the washer, the keypad by the bathroom and the keypad by the mirror 😅

    It was in a nice and quiet location, very close to convenient stores and vending machines. Short walk to Sumida river where you can see Tokyo Skytree or go for a run/jog. Came with a microwave, small fridge, and washer to wash your clothes. Few restaurants close by, especially one that was very kind and welcoming even though my Japanese wasn't that good, on google maps its called もつ焼き ちっぺ.

    100% would stay again! it’s perfect for a solo traveler and no one more as there isn’t much space but for the price it was perfect for me! there was a bathtub and everything!

    The only "bad" point is that these apartments are a little far from the station, like 15 minutes walking. So I wouldn't recommend it to people that have difficulty walking long distances. But besides that, they are very nice .

    The apartments are small but very nice with everything you need inside. The area is very quiet and there is a convenience store open all night long at one minute walking. It's at a walking distance from the Sky Tree (15 minutes) and the Sensōji (about 30 minutes walking).

    Everything one needs in a tiny apartment. Great location, and rail links. 10 minutes walk to Hikifune, 20 minutes walk to Asakusa. 3 mins to 7/11.

    small kitchen with only one hob. not suitable for proper cooking.

    Good location within 15 minute walk from Tokyo Skytree. may not be that convenient if you have a lot of luggages but acceptable for the price. some shops and restaurants nearby. The property had necessities.

    I have to commute to central Tokyo every day, so naturally the place is a bit far out. There's a loft bed which is also a pain, and it's overall just very small. Hard to find places to put my stuff, but considering the price I don't find this to be a huge problem.

    Very close to sky tree which is beautiful. The property itself is small but bigger than the average hotel, with a mini kitchen, microwave, fridge washing machine etc so great for long stays. There are also some things included like frying pans etc if you need to cook. Nearest station is Hikifune, but last trains run until later to Oshiage, which is walkable. If you need to be in Tokyo, this is one of the most affordable ways to get there.

    The place was not very clean! Dust everywhere. The fridge, the microwave, around the toilet were not clean! I got so disgusted that I bought products and I cleaned myself. I sent a message to them complaining about that and they did not even answer it. Also the check out is so early (at 10!). It’s hard to climb the stairs to reach the bed and the sofa is ridiculous! This flat is so uncomfortable. One of the worst places I have ever stayed!

    I didn’t like anything!
