I travel to Tokyo several times a year, and I always choose to stay in a local vacation rental apartment. This time, I went with a larger Japanese-style home, and I felt for the price and value this home is a great bargain, especially for the price and proximity to the rail system. Please note, this house is two story and although it can accommodate up to 6 people, it will be a very tight squeeze for western-style travelers, especially with kids and lots of large suitcases. I think two adults and two children under 12 are well suited for this house and it’s layout. All bedrooms are upstairs, and will need a steady hold to navigate the stairs down to the first level to access the dining room, small living area, bathroom, toilet and kitchen, but it is well worth it for the extra space upstairs and in-house washer/dryer. Please note, there is one AC unit upstairs and one AC unit downstairs, and although both AC units work very well, the house is a traditional Japanese style and so there is very little insulation, meaning the house will be very hot in the summer (even with both AC units on) and very cold in the winter (even though there are heaters on both floors). Please be advised that if you choose to rent this unit, temperature in the house will fluctuate should you need to stay in the house all day, unless you close off all the doors to just one room and stay in that room. For our needs for one month stay for me & my 11 year old son, the house was very clean and comfortable.

Great location for Haneda airport! We had a late flight and the host graciously gave us the opportunity for a late checkout. Very responsive and accommodating. 10/10!
