Slow down the pace and turn up the nostalgia—a downtown Tokyo from a different era
Having miraculously avoided major worlds and natural disasters, Yanaka and Nezu—two of the neighborhoods that make up shitamachi, Tokyo's old downtown—retain their last-century charm. You'll find historical sites such as Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine tucked away among shitamachi's narrow back alleys, traditional wooden houses, izakaya pubs, atmospheric coffee shops and retro stores selling old-style sweets and snacks. Here you can slip back in time to a slower-paced, more genteel Tokyo.

This home is in a great location. Very close to multiple local stores and a great bakery less than a minute walk. My family had a great time. Will definitely book again.
We had a nice stay. This home was clean and comfortable. Be mindful of the check in instructions though to make sure the host sends the instructions for the correct home.
Perfect location close to the trains and several places close by to eat. Quiet neighborhood and safe. Great to come home to the apartment after exploring all day. We washed our clothes and hung them to dry in the closet. The AC is great! We will return here for sure! CIBI cafe is a 1 minute walk with very good coffee. Perfect for me, my wife and adult daughter for 5 days. Very clean as well.
The top highlight was the great location near Sendagi station, with several restaurants, markets, and convenience stores within walking distance. Check-in instructions were clear, and the property was clean and well-stocked. One thing to be aware of is that the place is three stories, and the bathroom is on the first floor, so guests need to be comfortable with stairs. Overall I highly recommend and would stay again!

The house is nicely designed and is in a nice neighborhood with single family homes and shops. The location is good for exploring Tokyo with a few nearby metro stops. Thanks for letting us stay at the house.

We are both 70 year old Americans so the low couch was a challenge. It is old and lumpy and should be replaced. Also the house numbers were hard to find. A very nice local had a hard time helping us with the house numbers. Everything else was GREAT we would stay here again. 1/2 a block from the subway and very quiet. The street in front of the subway has a major bus route and constant cabs.
This place was everything we were looking for. We wanted to be able to immerse ourselves into a local community but still experience the urban areas of Tokyo. There were great local coffee shops and bakeries as well as local grocery and convience stores. The apartment was great for ourselves and two grown young adult boys. They had their space on the third floor where we had our soace on the first. We were planning the day or relaxing we met in the middle. Easy access to the subway system and easy to navigate. The host was very responsive when the wifi was not working and provided another device while we were out and putting it in the mail box so they did not enter the unit. Highly recommend this space for your visit.
