Different from the picture shown on the website.

This is a great location for shopping and chilling out in the neighbourhood. Shimo-Kitazawa has a great vibe. There was a lovely live band pub right next door to the building. A very helpful owner when it came to communication and problem solving

I am always very supportive of independent businesses so I am very mindful in my critique. Unfortunately, I think this loft doesn't suit families at all. It is a better suited as a bachelor pad or for bunch of guys staying for a few days without the hassle of cooking etc and not being fussy about the condition or amenities. The photos of the property in the listing don't really reflect the true state of the space as some of the things were pretty run down. It was our only poor experience in Japan and given that these were our last 2 nights in Tokyo, it was tough. The place seems to have been affected by Covid-19 losses and the neglect showed everywhere. We were greeted by a faintly stale fragrance in the house. There were three dead/dying plants, holes in the sofa fabric, pretty messy kitchen cabinet with no cutleries drawer and dusty appliances. The bedsheets were crumpled and pretty thin too. Now, I wasn't expecting hotel standard cleanliness but this didn't meet the cut. In every Japanese place we stayed we cooked breakfast for our boys but in this place, we were uncomfortable even drinking water from the tap. In fact, my partner developed a headache while inside the apartment so we had keep the door to the balcony open just to get some fresh air even though it was a pretty cold night in Tokyo. Given that most toilets in Japan are so hi tech, the one in the apartment is pretty basic. Same goes for the hot and cold shower which was unreliable as well. We also had problem with water heater not turning on despite repeated attempts on our 2nd night(which the owner very helpfully assisted in making it work very late in the night). The owner also has a nice printed guide in the apartment with lots of information of the area, Japanese language phrases to help foreigners communicate etc. Unfortunately, all that got negated by having a space which was very different from the description in the listing and not suitable for families at all.

Gorgeous apartment in the heart of Shimo-kitazawa with exceptional service and the friendliest host! Less than 5 minutes from the station, great location, great surroundings, stylish loft, great service. Absolutely recommend!

The loft was amazingly easy to live in, located in a very lively area, everything from amenities to neighboring restaurants, were very convenient! In addition, the host's consistency in his support throughout the stay (regarding facility questions and flexibility in check-in/out) were exceedingly prompt and made us feel very safe and comfortable.

Detergent ran out after 1 wash but otherwise everything was more than great!

Great place, spacious and comfortable!

It was a gorgeous apartment! It made me want to live there! The host was very friendly and nice too!
