Very good house, although the general feeling from the outside, came to found the room layout is very beautiful, very happy first B & B experience, next time must also live here

Kanako was a very enthusiastic owner, time to answer our questions, but also recommended a number of restaurants worth a try for us, really nice! Shelter from the subway station to go a distance, but close from Waseda University, very quiet ^ _ ^

Accommodation is in comfortable position to move to a downtown location. 30 minutes walk from the Ikebukuro The hostel is very clean, towels, disposable toothbrush, toothpaste razors, towels are well prepared. Many nearby convenience store that was convenient mart right next off at Waseda Station. Kanako's always good to let go gomawotda answer to my question. Is a very good host! So then also the best of the desire to stay in this hostel!

The apartment is small but very cozy and fully equipped. Kanako never showed up but was always available via a message on AIRB & B (check-in is via strict instructions sent by mail, as well as check out). As for the location, the apartment is located near Waseda Station (not Shinjuko as the name implies) but it is well connected and the area is very quiet with all amenities at hand (supermarket etc.).

Good:)

We stayed with friends three people. No point in particular to worry, we were able to stay comfortably. Without even especially far from the station, it is available on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line, access to the Tozai Line. Convenience store also has several, was not troubled night of shopping.

A quiet neighborhood not far from the station and ^^ was good and quiet. Saenggeuk room was spacious and more comfortable. Several convenience stores around the hostel is also good in. kanako very friendly and it was good to come even faster reply. ^^

Kanako was a great host with a fast respond time and very helpful. The small and cozy apartment was very clean and comfortable. Although it is located in a secluded spot, it is is part of the Waseda neighborhood which is quite lively and nice and is a nice place to start exploring Tokyo. I enjoyed my stay at Kanako's apartment!

The stay is by far the best I've ever had in Japan. Steve is so generous that he picked me up in the station and drove me to the apartment. Showing me the surrounding and also gave me a wifi egg. If you ask Steve, ahead of time, he can also take you to some really amazing restaurants and the price is reasonable too. Overall, the stay was amazing. The house is clean, big, and also convenient. I will suggest anyone who wants to visit Tokyo or Japan, come and give Steve's property a try. I guarantee you will have an amazing trip.

Great place! Easy assess to the train station and 24/7 convenience stores.

It's my first time with Airbnb :) At first, I was a bit skeptical as it is very new to me! It was a GREAT experience & affordable for traveling (be it for leisure or business trip) after all :) I am glad that I have made the right decision. During my stay from 10-16 March 2016, everything is great! There was some problem with the heater but the host - Steve came to fix it on the same day. Thank you very much! Most of the things are available (toiletries, detergent, clothes hangers, fridge, washing machine, towel, utensils, etc.) in the apartment so it make things more convenient. I have requested for an iron and the host - Steve has kindly prepared the iron and iron board. I like the pocket WiFi as it makes my traveling so much easier :) It is unlimited data. It is nearby to eateries, convenience stores (e.g. Family Mart, Lawson), supermarkets, bookstores and subway station. All within walking distance. This makes my working trip a lot easier. The nearest exit to walk to the apartment is Exit 1. However, if you have an early flight to catch, please go to the opposite Exit (still within walking distance) for the first train at 5.09am to Haneda International Airport. You have to climb the staircases (a long way to go...if you have big luggage - haha). Anyway, for the apartment, it is on the ground floor. So, you don't have to climb a lot when you reach the apartment. It's convenient! Thanks a lot to Airbnb and the host - Steve! Cheers, Huey Min

Excellent location near the Tokyo Metro Line (Tozai). Room was spacious enough for two people and had all the amenities expected of an apartment like this. Steve was great at communicating with us during the trip to accommodate our needs.

Apartment was just as advertised. Nice spot, very close to Waseda subway and a handy supermarket. Mobile wifi point was worth its weight in gold. Steve was fast to reply on the one occasion I needed him, and together we managed to work out how to get the air-con unit heating. Would definitely stay here again!

Any question, just ask the host. Place was really good as well as the location. Basic needs were provided and the air conditioner is a heater too (for people who lived in a tropical country all their life like me wouldn't know). Theres a mini-mart just nearby (a min walk) that closes at 11pm. You can buy anything you need there and it's so close to the subway station. Only downside is IF you have dust allergy like me, there's a carpet in the room (really warm and a good place to sit on) make sure you have your anti-allergy pills.

The second stay, very satisfied. Transport facilities, from Waseda University super close, the landlord good communication.

The host is very friendly, he replied very fast for what we ask. Thank you so much Steve! The location is perfect for us, very private and quiet, make me feel like local.

Kenji were very attentive in responding to my questions. The information and direction to the apartment that Kenji provided was very clear and easy to follow. Apartment was a short 5 min walk from Waseda station and right beside the station there's a 3 floored supermarket, very convenient. We enjoyed staying at his apartment as it is fully equipped, clean and comfy, would recommend this place!

We had a very comfortable stay at Kenji + Shihoko's place. The place is conveniently close to all the major tourist sites and few minutes walk from Waseda Station. The place itself is very clean and comfortable.

Great place to stay

We really enjoy our stay at Kenji and Shihoko s place. Very convenient and close to everything we needed. I definitely recommend this place!

Kenji+Shihoko's place was great! It is exactly what you see in the pictures on the listing, and it was just nice for the 3 of us! Might be a little cramp for more than 3 if you have big luggages, because we left them all downstairs since its quite a hassle to carry it up the stairs. Unless you don't have big luggages like we did, then more than 3 is fine. The apartment is very clean and neat, and had everything that we needed. Even the sofa bed was very comfortable to sleep on! It is also very near to the subway station Waseda, and the neighbourhood is very nice and quiet. To get to places like shinjuku or shibuya or tokyo station, you have to change lines but it doesn't take too long. If you have heavy luggage, you may have to carry your baggage up the stairs before you get to the elevator, as the platform we arrived at only had stairs and we had to climb up stairs to the other side of the platform to get to the elevator. We were also asked to wash the towels we used into the washing machine before leaving, which we thought was a little weird since we paid for a cleaning fee, but thats just a minor issue and wasn't too much of a hassle to do it. Overall, the place is great and kenji was very responsive and replied my messages as soon as he could. Definitely recommend this place!!

-Everything is neat -Room is clean and nice -Easy to locate -Convenient stores nearby

Kenji's place is very clean and the home has everything that you might need. Including a washing machine and hangers to hang the laundry. He is very quick to answer any questions and all of the instructions are very detailed and nice. I've never stayed anywhere else where there was so much information and guidance. I highly recommend his place. It's near the metro station too. If you need access to the JR line, it's a bit far. You will have to transfer lines but not a big deal. Enjoy!

Clean, central, beautiful place. Easily accessible host always available to help. Can't wait to come back.

It was very easy to access various parts of Tokyo, since the apartment is close to 2 different subway lines. Small supermarket is 1 minute away and we also discovered take away local food on the way to the Kagurazaka subway . We really enjoyed our stay at Maki 's apartment and would highly recommend if you plan to stay in Tokyo.

This is the best place It is very clean and comfortable. The feedback on the host is excellent. I recommend all the travelers in Tokyo.

The room is clean and spacious and just like in the pictures. Like some other reviews stated, it is larger than I expected for a room in Tokyo. I appreciate all the amenities Maki provided. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood which is great to come back to after visiting the other bustling areas of Tokyo. Maki provided clear, excellent directions on location and check-in procedures well in advance of arrival as well as instructions on how to operate the various electronics (A/C, heater, TV, etc...) in the room. He was very responsive to messages and I knew that if I needed anything (which I didn't because it had everything) he would be there. Location is near several subway stations and also very close (10 - 12 minute walk) from Waseda University. Excellent room, highly recommended!

I often use Airbnb but this is one of my best places ever.

A very nice apartment , clean and very comfortable with everything we need for convenience . You can also find some nice restaurant around as well . Thank you Maki for your welcome chocolate as well and we both very enjoy staying ar your place . See you next time !

The place is spacious to compare with other hotels in Tokyo. Mari is very good in responding the inquires on directions and transport.

Very nice and clean!

Everything was great!

Great place for Waseda University close to transport. The host is very quick to respond.

5 stars apartment located near Waseda university and few seconds walk from Waseda university , large bed and large bathroom. good access to the Yamanote line, the area is so nice many restaurant and super market just behind the building. The pocket wifi is awesome, i will recommend this apartment to my friends.

Great place to stay, had everything we needed & the metro station is a few seconds away!

Awesome Airbnb experience for me, good location of the apartment, many restaurants, convenient stores and super market nearby. The street is always animated a lot of student, very good atmosphere, The bed is very comfortable and the falt had all the amenities. Ill stay here again

Kenji's place was absolutely amazing. There would be plenty of room for 2 or 3 people to stay comfortably. It is right next to Waseda Station, so getting anywhere you need to go is extremely easy.

Nice flat in the center of the city, large bright and enough for a group of people, good place to sleep. The host is very kind and reply to our question very quickly, and he provide us a guide how to get to the apartment very easily, the check in and check out was very easy. Very nice flat.

Good

The place is really good in terms of location. The grocery is just on the other side, which is very practical for you can cook inside the apartment. Waseda Station of the Tokyo Metro line is also very close.

Good place to stay around the local :)

I had the opportunity to live in Cute House for four months, and had a great time throughout my stay. While the house may seem tiny for a visitor unfamiliar with the scale of Japanese residential living, upon closer contemplation it reveals an ingenious and efficient arrangement, and offers an intimate experience of the surrounding residential neighbourhood, with its sounds, smells, and sights. The upstairs tatami room, my favourite, is light-filled and beautiful inside-out, with traditional interior finishes and multi-directional views. The kitchen, while modest in size, is well-equipped for preparing simple meals. The neighbourhood, although primarily residential, offers all the necessities for daily life and is also well-connected the rest of the city. It only takes 15-20 minutes to get to Shinjuku by bike or train, and other urban centres such as Ueno, Tokyo or Ikebukuro can also be reached quite easily. Fiona has been a great host; she promptly responded to all of my messages, and also added a few amenities to the house during my stay (rice-cooker, microwave, washing machine). Highly recommended!

The host canceled this reservation 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

*Very* Small, tricky to find, and a bit expensive for what you get. With costs comparable to that of a business hotel or net cafe, the amenities were far below. Could never get the shower to put out hot water despite being familiar with the control unit. Pictures are unquestionably the apartment in its best possible light. For the cost, would not stay again.

I had a wonderful stay here- Wendy was very flexible. Highly recommended!

It's a nice room in Waseda area. You can find everything you need near the house. The house is old but all in readiness. And the Wi-Fi is really nice, very fast and always has a low ping.

Nice room size, good bed. Heating and hot shower working fine. Fast wifi! Convenient location. Good value for money!

Nice and quiet, very fast Wifi. Hope to live here next time.

Good, quiet, and cheap place to stay if you're just looking for a place to sleep. House is very cold in the winter, only your room is heated. Everything else, kitchen, bathroom, etc are all as cold as outside.

convenience and cheap.I think It's a good place to stay.

This apartment is very quiet & looks just like the photos. Waseda is a great area. I would stay there again.

Good place. Very quiet and safe. WiFi is fast foo.

Great little house, small but perfectly formed. Clean, the traffic is very convenient. In addition to the little house, the other very good!

Erika is nice, helpful and fast-responded. She provided the clear instruction guiding us how to find the apartment. And the apartment is so clean and comfortable. There are one mini shop and lawson nearby the apartment, and two beverages machine outside the apartment. It is so convenience. Overall, there is great place if u look for quiet environment.

Good location. Only thing is taxi driver struggle to find the place. Erika and nick was helpful

Erika & Nick are very nice hosts, they are super hosts indeed. Their unit was exactly as described. My husband and I loved the unit so much. It was complete with all the amenities you need. The comfort room is bigger than the usual and its bidet panel is so nicely placed on the wall so its more HYGIENIC. The groceries, convenience stores and small restos that are all over Bentecho Street are a plus factor. Their portable wifi is quite useful, you may need to bring a battery pack though in case it gets drained while you are out. Coming from the JR YAMANOTE LINE, Waseda is one station away from Takadanobaba Station using Metro Tozai line. The location was very quiet and safe. Its only set back is that the station exit (Exit No. 1) has NO elevator which is a bit of a struggle if you have large luggages with you. The elevator is located at exit No. 3 but you have to walk a bit more than when you exit from Gate 1. We turned right when we should have turned left from Gate 3 so we got lost and walked very very far, its good that we found a police precint to help us out haha! UNSOLICITED TIP: If you are an elderly, pregnant, disabled or with strollers and with very heavy luggages, you need to take Gate 3. All in all, Its worth staying in this place.

The apartment is as described. Small in size but with all the well-functioning services. It is clean and cozy. It is located near a metro station, and is convenient to all major tourist destinations. Erika can always be contacted by e-mail if necessary. For a couple is a great solution for money.

This is the perfect apartment for anyone wanting clean, quiet, well-cared-for accommodations at a very reasonable price while visiting Tokyo. From the moment I made the reservation Erika was responsive. She emailed me very detailed manual for the apartment. This included details on the apartment's amenities as well as picture-based directions from the (very close) subway station. Super easy! This is a perfectly situated apartment. Very easy to get wherever you'd like due to its close proximity to the subway. And, this neighborhood is full of great shops and delicious restaurants. Highly recommended.

Everything is okay, but the wifi really sucks!!

The location is perfect to visit Shinjuku, Kagurazaka, (URL HIDDEN) takes only 5minutes to Shinjukui!!! The apartment is very comfortable. The bathroom is so big compared to your regular Tokyo bathroom space in a hotel. The area where the studio is located is very safe, you have 3 minutes or less walking distance to restaurants. Some friends are traveling to Tokyo soon and I recommend100% to stay here. Nick and Erika were very kind to solve all my questions, with a rapid answer. I hope to return to Tokyo again, this place made it awesome to rest and have a super comfortable stay. Thank you a lot again!

Bathroom and kitchen are really small. Huge cockroach in the room.

Everything was as described. Close to the station, clean tatami room, nice area. I reccomand it.

Very welcome, very comfortable and rather spacious room for the price and well placed. I highly recommend !

Ai was fantastic and her apartment was a perfect home base for our first trip to Tokyo. My boyfriend's birthday occurred during our stay, and Ai made a few great suggestions for restaurants in the area, and even made a reservation for us and arranged to have a little cake sent out with his name written in chocolate on the plate. She included a book of information on tourist attractions, nearby cafes/restaurants/shops, and the train system, and was always available to help with any questions that we had. She always responded quickly to our needs, and when she met with us to show us around her place, everything was very clearly labeled in case we couldn't figure out how to use any appliances or items. The apartment was very clean and organized, and was quiet and within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, and a train station. We would love to return to Tokyo and stay with Ai again in the future!

Ai's apartment is a must, location is wonderful and proximity to retail outlets (including coin laundry) and subway is perfect. It's in a safe and quiet residential area and you pass by a little square with Sakura trees on the way home. We were the first guest and Ai was our first host, we got out first airbnb experience together and that was a great start. The apartment is as described, excellent location, clean and functional. In a pure Japanese style we couldn't use desk/sofa/tv, instead we gathered around the little living room table, that has it's charm. It might be Japanese culture but Ai is a strict person, it is good because she is reliable but you need to be willing to play by the rules. An unusually high level of cleanness is expected (clean the wheel of you luggage!), no smoking on the balcony, etc. It's common sense by you have to announce your time of arrival so she knows when to come and meet you. All the above is a stark difference compared to a hotel were you don't have to 'mind' things. It's a trade-of we were happy to make, just to deal with a Japanese person and deal with a Japanese home is already a traveling experience. Taking a Japanese bath in the evening was a blast and it fills-in automatically at the push of a button! We were provided with tooth brush and shaving blade but I'm not sure if she will always provide it. I can't recall the availability of shampoo and shower gel. Check the description to know if you need to bring some. The 2 single beds are ok, but as they differ slightly in height, they can't really be used a double bed. The inflatable one felt like a normal one and can be adjusted with a built-in electric pump. The wimax-wifi portable internet access point that you can use at home and carry around during the day works well and is insanely convenient. If you are willing to be respectful of Ai and the apartment then click "book it", it's a safe choice, it is perfect. We would definitely go back there should we come to Tokyo again. As I said we were the first guess so Ai might refine the offer in the future. Look closely at the pictures and description they are accurate and that's what you get.

That was a really good experience to stay in Ai's appartment ! Excellent location, very clean and the communication with Ai was always easy, she is a responsible person and takes care every detail. She also recommanded some restaurants nearby and we really enjoyed the Sansui Sushi !!! You must to follow all the rules of apparment, but if you a respectful person, you don't have to worry about this. Come and enjoy your trip in Ai's appartment and Tokyo.

Thank you for kindly announcement. Location was near to subway station. ^^

Beautiful, clean apartment, Ai was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

Ai was very good at keeping in touch both before arrival and during our stay. She gave good directions to the apartment and had a lot of good recommendations for our stay. The neighborhood of the apartment is nice and quiet with a couple of good restaurants nearby, and it is just a 5 min walk from Waseda station.

This is my first time in AIRBNB book a room. AIRBNB service is very convenient. Ai is a very good owner, she is very enthusiastic to help us a lot and great recommendations. Her room and she describes in AIRBNB like, great! Near the house is very quiet, and very convenient. I can easily get around Ito-Yokado supermarket stuff I need. Metro about five minutes walk from the house. Ai's house is very suitable for travel to live. In AIRBNB booking very good. Thank you, Ai and AIRBNB. This is my first booking room on Airbnb, and the service of Airbnb is very convenient. Ai is a very nice householder. She is so warmhearted to give us a lot of help and many wonderful recommendations. Ai's room is as excellent as she said on Airbnb. It is very quiet around the house, and very convenient to live. I can buy everything I need from ITO YOKADO supermarket near the house. The subway is about five minutes away from the house by walking. So the Ai's house is very nice and comfortable to stay for travellers. Booking on Airbnb is a good choice! Thank you to Ai and Airbnb!

I feel so lucky that I have stayed in Ai's place when I was in Tokyo. First of all, this is a great apt. As everyone knows that Tokyo is a busy city, but Ai's apt locates in an amazingly quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The houses nearby are very cute, and the streets and the little park are beautiful, too. It's a very convenient location, only take a few minutes walk to the subway, grocery store and Waseda University. In addition, the apt itself is very cozy, Ai has prepared everything that we might need. She is so considerate and careful that she even prepared the instruction of the lamp remote, the kitchen and the bath tub. I especially appreciate the snacks she prepared for us. Because we arrived late in the night, the snacks were really helpful for two hungry people:)) at last, Ai is an amazing landlady. She is so kind and thoughtful. She gave us many tips to explore the neighborhood upon our arrival. Later, she even helped us to get info about Mt Fuji when she knew that we had plan to go there. We enjoyed our stay at Tokyo very much, thanks to Ai's hospitality!

Staying in Giovanni's apartment was very nice! Very spacious apartment in Tokyo. The location is walking distance to many stations and lines, so you're never far away from anything. There are good spots to eat in the area, yet the neighborhood is comfortably quiet. The directions are very clear and convenient. Giovanni and Nao both respond very quickly, as well.

This place was amazing! Super easy to get around Tokyo, but it was in a quiet and safe area. This place is great for the winter with a nice heater and though we didn't get to meet Giovanni, his friend Nao was extremely helpful. We got amazing restaurant recommendations and detailed explanations on how to get around Tokyo. All in all it couldn't have been better!

The host is very kind, he explained all the questions I asked in details. The place is near to the subway. There are many daily necessities and food in the house. The house is clean that made me feel comfortable.

Giovanni was great! The place was clean and close to the train station. He gave us some great tips of where to visit during our stay. Check-in and check-out were very easy. We had a very comfortable stay!

Giovanni is very friendly and helpful, and always reply my massages right away! The place is really close to Weseda station, supermarket, restaurants and convenient stores which is super convenient! Although it's an old apartment, it's comfortable, clean and spacious under such decent price, will definitely recommend here to my friends.

Giovanni was very friendly and kind, direction was clear cut, peaceful and quiet area

The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Everything we need in a Airbnb are there. Place is clean and cozy, very convemiemt just couple of mins away from waseda station. Will definitely stay this place again .

Ok...

Good location, easy to get to and from. Quiet and safe.

The apartment is very clean and tidy. The location is great and convenient to access several transportations and quite a few restaurants. Also, the host is very helpful and always replied my questions quickly. I think I will choose to stay here again if I have another chance to come to Tokyo.

Great location: 6 minutes from Waseda metro station, cosy place. Has everything you need for your stay in Tokyo ;) Kanako was a great Host, great communication with her. I hope stay here again soon. Gran ubicación: a solo 6 minutos de la estación Waseda que te conecta a otros lugares de la ciudad con facilidad, el departamento tiene todo lo necesario, ideal especialmente para 2 personas, muy limpio y acceso fácil. Kanako fue una gran anfitriona, te ayuda en todo y mantienes una gran comunicación Espero quedarme aquí nuevamente algún día :)

Great place to stay. The host was so nice and responsive.

Kanako's Apartment was easy to find and it had everything that we needed, the neighbourhood was also quiet and it had many supermarkets near to it that was very convenient. Kanako responded very quick to our messages. We had a great time there i highly recommend it.

Very nice and clean place. The best bnb I have ever experienced. Highly recommended.

Very convenient location. There are two train stations nearby and its around a 10-15 walk. A nice coffee shop near the Waseda station. Would recommend going to grab breakfast. Also a family mart 2 blocks away from the studio. Room is a little small for a group of three. Shampoo, shower gel, towels, toothbrush, bath sponge, and razors were provided. Bring your own toothpaste! Was able to do laundry! Definitely would recommend. Lots of food places near by and a couple of wine bars!
