I visit Japan regularly and noticed a few bad reviews on this location so Iâd thought Iâd give my two cents. Location is awesome. Itâs a very vertical apartment so if you are elderly I donât suggest it. The AC wasnât a problem, you just have to figure out how to work it. The Top floor is tall enough to stand up in and Iâm 5â10. Canât think of many negatives. If I lived in Tokyo full time this would be an apartment I wouldnât mind living in long term.
Needs to specify the picture in the advertisement because the stairs is not for older person. Too stiff and not wide. Stairs on the sleeping area is not secured due to missing railling. Overall the apartment is clean and complete amenities.
Horrible. Would not consider this a place for 3 people. The ârecliningâ sofa in the loft is not sleepable itâs so thin that you can feel the wires in it. Air conditioning does not actually blow cold air, if you are taller than 4â10 u canât stand in the loft (Iâm 5â0) and I had to bend down the entire time, the stairs are incredibly dangerous and if you fall there is no railing to catch you. There is a musty smell radiating through the entire place.
complex A was hard to find. Luckily we had somebody(local) help us locate the entrance. Good thing about this place. It's walking distance to Shibuya crossing.
First, beware that once you book, there is no cancellation. I tried to cancel because our number of travelers changed from 4 to 5 and was unable to switch. Had to rent a second place for our last night. After booking, we were sent an email saying we needed to go to a link to give them our traveler information (which is required by law). Went to the link and it said there was no reservation information. Contacted Hotels and they said I would have to contact the property directly. I sent them an email explaining the issue and was told I needed to talk to Hotels. I responded that Hotels had told me to contact them directly and they never responded. Arrived extremely jetlagged to have no email instructions on how to get into the apartment. There is no one at the property. I had to find a business who would let me use their phone to call the number on the mailbox. They finally sent the email with the check in instructions. This took about an hour - sitting outside on our luggage. "Apartment" was intended for up to 4 people. There was one hard chair (not what is pictured in the photo) and that one chair was broken. The loft sleeping area was up the steepest set of stairs I have ever seen. Literally like going up and down a ladder which is super fun in the middle of the night. The last night, we checked our 5th guest into the place nextdoor which was actually above our apartment up a steep flight of 28 stairs. That apartment had not hot water!
The room was not clean when we came. The floor in front door dirty and sticky. The picture of the layout in hotel.com is not the same. Thereâs no chairs to sit and no place to put out luggageâs because they put the mattress beds in 1st floor instead of the 2nd floor like the picture in hotel.com. We have 4 people stayed at property but only 2 glasses available. The owner told us to sit in the 2nd floor but the stairs to 2nd floor is not safe. If you have elderly staying with you they wonât be able to go up. The kettle is dirty. Overall this is the worst experience.
Please notify guests when you have received their completed online guest information form. I submitted mine, then was asked to complete the same form some weeks later.
Also, please email the manual (lock box info, etc.) at least several days before the stay and make sure the contact phone number is not one that is out of service. The Expedia platform provided links that did not function. It is better to e-mail directly to guests rather than via the Expedia platform.
The manual itself was very thorough and useful. Thank you!
