Stayed here with three of my friends. A wonderful experience in Tokyo. We really enjoyed our stay there. A truly homely, private, quiet house in a safe neighbourhood. Even safer since it is located near to the hosts' own house for added assurance and security. Quick access to food and convenience stores nearby, as well as walking distance from the subway station. Very pleasant and kind hosts. They would always be respectful of our privacy yet be proactively offer their help. I do not regret renting this place, and I would absolutely book here again if I were given another opportunity to return to Tokyo.

Akane and Mitsu are the sweetest most helpful people on the planet. They made our experience in Tokyo a breeze. I stayed at the Old Folk House with my five month old baby and husband. We loved staying in their home. It had everything that we needed. Akane even provided a diaper pail. The location was very convenient, close to a supermarket, a convenience store and a laundromat. I was surprised and delighted to be able to experience a slower, quiet side of Tokyo. Akane and Mitsu made us feel like we were close friends or family. I will certainly recommend the Old Folk House to anyone I know that will be traveling to Tokyo.

Akane and Mitsu were very welcoming without being overwhelming and were very attentive - a very charming couple. The traditional Japanese home is spacier than regular apartment units and cozy to even chill at home. It provides everything on the listing and beyond to ensure comfort, as if you were visiting a friend's home. The neighborhood is a vibrant old Edo district, presenting a different side of Tokyo than your usual tourist traps. The Sumiyoshi subway stop is not too far, connecting to both the Toei and Hanzomon lines. Japan railway pass holders could take the hike to JR Kinshicho, I suppose. Highly recommended for the culturally sensitive traveller.

I highly reccomend this stay in Tokyo. I felt so welcomed to the city after meeting Akane and Mitsu who are such kind people. There is a reason why they have been voted super hosts. The house provides a great base to explore Tokyo. There is such attention to detail from a heated toilet seat to floor heating under tables. A beautiful experience of japanese style living.

We were pleased to find this accommodation for our first nights in Japan and Tokyo. Akanene and Mitsu are excellent hosts who made ever effort at making our stay easy. The area is full of interesting and delightful micro restaurants and bars that are friendly and provide excellent food. We particularly enjoyed the Soul Bar on the main road to Sumiyoshi Station. Once we learnt the ways of the Tokyo train system, it was very easy getting to wherever we wanted to go.

Great place, large size compared to everywhere else we stayed in Tokyo and indeed Japan. Yes, house was drafty but we expected this (winter, previous reviews). Heating once it got going was effective, table warmer was great touch. Easy to find from local subway station. The walk was not long, although we tend not to travel with much luggage. We'd definitely stay again, albeit next time aim for another time of the year. Thanks again.

This host was really warm-hearted and hospital. The house was quite cozy. Best trip experience ever.

Akane and Mitsu are very nice couple! Their house was last stop of our Tokyo trip and we were really enjoyed and relaxed in the house. It was comfort and clean, and we love the kotatsu most! The well-equipped kitchen also helped a lot! Akane is a very talented artist, we love the way they decorate the house and the fabric works like art pieces and painting on the wall, especially the vivid curtain, cushions and futon for kotatsu. If you want to try a suburban life in Tokyo, it's the best choice for you!

Kawano ' s family is very informative host they gave very useful and enough information even we came late they are so kindness to find us(URL HIDDEN)All prior ibformation before trip is really useful and correctly . They are response very fast.

Great house, great landlord. Close to the Keisei-Tateishi Station

Kawano-san was extremely helpful in facilitating our stay in Japan. Not only were directions from the airport (Narita) detailed enough, the directions around Katsushika provided us with great food, shopping and sights to see. The apartment's proximity to the local train station was unbeatable, possibly one of the best places to stay around Japan. The apartment was just as we imagined it to be, cozy enough for a group of four. While its decor makes it extremely pleasant to sleep in, the surrounding is pleasantly quiet enough, without the piercing sound of sirens to wake you from deep slumber. We thoroughly enjoyed our 6D5N stay in Kawano-san's apartment to the extent that if we were to visit Japan again, Kawano-san's apartment would definitely be one of the top accommodation choices for us again. Thank you for the great hospitality that is truly Japanese! ありがとう!

Good experience, we were only two, but it has room for more, everythink was clean, and new. Very friendly hosts.

the house is pretty cool

Perfect host. The communication was very good and responsive. The Kawano family is extremely friendly and made sure all our needs were met. The apartments were very clean and even our towels were exchanged on a daily basis. A few extra perks were in it too. Great place of you travel in a group that is intimate. Like close friends or family. If you don't mind changing trains a couple of times to get to Tokyo's hotspots, the area is very calm but offers everything you need on a daily basis. From food courts and amenities- everything is just a stone throw away. We'd book again. Thank you.

Great room, as shown in the picture. Host was really friendly hahaha. Love the room and the interiors, location was slightly out of town but that I like it, the quaint neighborhood of Taiteishi. AWESOME.

The J's apartment was lovely, spacious, super clean and very comfortable for 4 of us to stay. It's made us feel like home. The Tateshi station is just 5 mins walk from the apartment, along with lots of shops and restaurants. The host provided a very clear and detail's illustrate of the train and subway route to the main visit place. The free portable wifi were really helped us when outgoing to another city. We really love Tateshi, it's a typical Japan neighborhood. I would definitely recommend Kawano's apartment to our friends and come back again. Very appreciated the attentive of Kawano's family. With Best regards, Mio and Family

The area is very peaceful and local which I am just looking for staying. Everything in the place is quiet nice and comfortable and easy to use (or make the guests feel convenient). It is 5 mins walk to the subway and serveral 24 hour mini markets are just around. It's really a good choice to stay if you are a small group like 3-4 persons. and the most important is the hosts are very kind and did their best to guide you and make your staying wonderful.

Koji and Nami were just very kind and fun host, they know how to welcome guests ! Thanks Nami for the free laundry service and drive us by car to subway station. Thanks Koji for the welcome and all informations we asked you during our trip with you. We recommand to everyone booking appartment with Koji and Nami, great services and very cheap price !

The host are really nice and considerate, they were provide lots of sightseeing information and the restaurants near around. Also, they are not tired for asking what they can help for us. The most impressive thing is when we arrived, Koji specially bring the Chinese tourist booklet and juice for us even it was raining! The house was tidy and cozy. Everything was complete. I think I would like to live in this place when I visit Tokyo again. And It was really worth to recommend.

Mr. Koji is a very friendly and kindly host. The quilts and beds in the room are extremely comfortable so that we all have a good sleeping quality every night. Besides, the kitchen equipment and tableware are very comprehensive as well,makes us feel like we are at home.

We stayed for 2 nights at first then decided to extend one more night. Apartment was amazing with all the equipments and furnitures, especially the neighborhood, Tateishi. Close to local market and train station. Koji was really helpful even drive us to JR station. The apartment quite small like any other place in Japan yet all things are functional and perfect.

Koji,Nami,Mr.T ...they are amazing people who get this place in Tokyo. That will be your right choice stay in Tokyo. My family all take beautiful memory from here.☺ Terry

Koji, Nami and Mr T were really cool. It was quick and easy to find directly from Narita airport. We met Mr T in the street and he showed us around. The portable wifi is super useful and there was coffee and tea in the flat as well as time out magazines and maps etc. It was very clean! and the Tatami room is ace. We were happy to be staying in Tateishi. It's a cool neighbourhood. Quiet and with some really good places to eat. A few stops from Oshiage or Sky Tree tower which is on the Tokyo metro. Koji, Nami and Mr T invited us out to a bar and to their place on new years eve which was most kind.

The one tree house was a perfect place in a not touristy local neigbourhood. We enjoyed our stay there and recommend it to anyone.

Nobuko's place was very comfortable and close to everything! The train station was walkable distance and so was a bunch of different shopping centers

Modern apartment with a nice feel, very clean and close to Ikebukuro station , so easy to get around.

We are 3 girls traveling to Tokyo for business trip. Nobuko's place is very neat, tidy and clean. We did not meet Nobuko in person but the process of communication before the trip and checking in and out is very good. Nobuko even allowed us to check in early as my colleagues arrived early in the morning, and allowed me to check out late as well due to a flight delayed. Overall it was a very nice experience and I would definitely be back again. Thank you Nobuko for the great hosting!

Excellent location for public commuting (just a short walk to the station), very modern building and comfy home.

Nobuko's place is very comfortable, clean and convenient!

Very nice and clean apartment with everything one could need near a main train station

Nobuko's apartment is absolutely beautiful! It is a very new building and we had a great time staying! Location wise, it is about 10min walk from ikebukuro station, the neighbourhood is quite safe too. Nobuko was also very helpful and responded quickly when we texted her. Would really love to stay at Nobuko's place again next time when we visit Tokyo!

Convenient and clean~

Jeffrey responded instantly and made sure everything was clean and cozy. I could collect the key from him personally, but it would have been possible to come at a later time too. The appartment was neat and tidy. Thank you for helping us out so spontaneously!

It was a last-minute searching so I didn't set high expectation. But I was lucky to find this place, it looks great, and fit for my need. Even if I didn't have a chance to meet Jeffrey in person, he seems like a nice, friendly host, and can accommodate all requests. He response quickly, and always give the answer clearly. The listing is lovely, just like the picture, and the name 'Gorgeous' says it all. It is very clean, has complete amenities, and nice kitchen. I didn't use the kitchen because of my busy and short stay, but staying here few more days won't be a problem, also the big fridge would be great for longer stay. Ah, and those snack and soft drink, were a nice welcome treat :) It is a residential area, silent, no traffic noise, but close the the train station (5 min. walk) and convenience store (1 min. walk) and the place is easy to find since Jeffrey gave clear information. And, did Jeffrey forget to recommend Rigukien Garden? It is one of the most beautiful garden in Tokyo, in just 5 min. walk from the house ;)

The apt is really good!very close to the metro!

Excellent location, the condo was exactly how it was pictured and extremely clean. Jeffrey answered to all my questions within a brief delay. Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved this place and host. Jeffrey is an excellent person and his studio is like staying in a five star hotel. We requested to stay at his place at last minute on a Sat evening, and he responded promptly and left what he was doing to meet us. He provided us with good instructions to get there and was waiting for us in front of the building. His place is just about 5 min walk from Komagome sta, which is very convenient if you hold a JR pass. It takes only 18 min to Tokyo station. The building and the studio are very modern. The photos actually do not show you how beautiful, modern, and spacious the place is. There is a Tv, a little balcony, wardrobe, a big mirror, dressing table, a nice little kitchen with a big fridge, a toilet and a shower area (separated , air con) He provides you with free Japanese snacks, and soft drinks. There is a washing machine and washing powder which you can use without paying extra money like in other places. Everything is new and extremely clean and tidy! You also get a portable wi-fi. Thanks Jeffry for your little present from Japan, and your prompt reply to all our questions. You are the best host, and have for sure the best place to stay in Tokyo.

Great location, able to access everywhere from the train station near the house.

A little cozy but clean and nice . And it just take 4mins to (URL HIDDEN) convenient.also Jeffrey is nice people to tell me everything .thank you

I really love the Komagome area! The neighborhood is sweet, peaceful and very pretty. It's an easy walk from the flat to the Yamanote line, which means you don't have to transfer if you're heading to Shibuya or Shinjuku--this makes a big difference while exploringTokyo. There are also some great cafes and restaurants just a few blocks away, and I liked Peacock for groceries. The flat is cozy and modern and has everything you need to cook and do laundry, a lovely shower/tub (tiny as is the norm in Japan), and a comfy bed (supportive and not too soft). Jeffrey was a very helpful host and always responded right away to questions (and I had quite a few at the beginning as it was my first time in Tokyo). He helped also with resetting the portable Wifi which was new to me and was understanding when I wasn't able to figure it out myself! AND he helped me set up the intercom so that I could receive a package. So he really did go above and beyond and I am grateful for that. I really enjoyed my stay here and hope I can come back some day!

Pros: 1. Modern type apartment with complete amenities. Owner even provided welcome tea, coffee and Kit Kat chocs. 2. There were only 3 rooms in the floor. Very private apartment building. You feel safe once you are inside the room. 3. Toilet was heated, good for the cold nights. 4. Apartment has a balcony. Owner allows smoking in the balcony. (Good for smokers) 5. Ideal for big families. Cons: 1. Wi-fi daily data limit. 2. Microwave oven seems "not working"

Amazing apartment described exactly as it is. It is an excellent location close to the subway as well as a couple minutes from a very lively downtown area. I would definitely recommend staying here. Also the host instructions and communication were great, made it easy to find and has everything you need for a great stay.

I have impressed for staying at the apartment, it is very clean, 5 minutes walk to Ueno station and shopping, many good restaurants around here, easy to arrive with his guide manual, Sato is very friendly and quick response, I'll live again when coming back to Tokyo, thanks for accommodating our staying:)

Akira house was very near to train station. We are enjoy n comfortable to stay there. Near to convenien store, it easy to go every where.

Great location, great information from the host.

The guide provided by the host is very accurate. There is no issue in locating the place. Close to ueno station and direct train access to narita airport via skyliner. Highly recommend to book!! Akira's place is very very clean and easy accessible. Will book with akira again during my next visit. Thank you fot hosting me and my friends.

It's a convenience place to stay. Really near Ueno Station, stores and restaurants around. Nice house. Thanks to your hospitality.

nice clean convenient & easy to find. great place!

This place a little far from Big City, but the place is close with public transport, and very clean. Recommended place if you planning to visit Japan

The apartment is in a quiet suburb of Tokyo, close to the train and grocery stores and restaurants. It is huge by Tokyo standards and the washing machine was a great convenience. The only issue was we didn't anticipate the higher cost of the longer train ride to the city (maybe 500 yen more per person each way) that made it less of a value than we thought. But a big quiet place to escape the bustle of our adventures in Tokyo made it worth it for us.

Nomad house is great, very value for the money. Thanks Nomad.

This is a great, spacious apartment that is very comfortable and had pretty much everything I needed for my month long stay. Nomad-san was very responsive whenever I had questions, and even offered a ride back to the station on my last day if I needed help with my luggage! I will note that for taller people you are going to have to duck through all of the doorways (I'm 6') or you'll bump your head. This is not unusual in Japan, you're likely to encounter it at many private apartments, it's just part of being tall! The bed was plenty long so no other related worries. I really appreciated the keypad lock on the door so I didn't have to worry about keeping track of a key! I would stay here again!

We just got back from an amazing trip in Japan! Although we never got the chance to meet Nomad, he was extremely helpful! He answers his messages really quickly and he's always willing to help! His place was adorable! It was the perfect size! Not too small :) Great for 3 people! It was really clean and looked exactly like the pictures! It's a little bit far from downtown Tokyo but it gave us the opportunity to live in a real japanese neighborhood, which we absolutely loved! The subway is literally 5 min away by walk! And Disneyworld is only 30 min away! If you are looking for a cute, comfy and clean place, this is the perfect apartment for you! :) Thank you so much for everything Nomad!

The place was clean, pocket wifi was one of the best that was provided to us, super helpful with the travel throughout Japan. Nomad responds to the questions we had during our stay. The place had most of the amenities a traveller would need in a place to stay at. Would definitely go back there and stay again, for next year!

This is a super cute apartment. Big for what I expected. Great neighbourhood too. 24 hour mini marts and the restaurants stay open late. Not a very expensive area either! The host is amazing. Did absolutely everything to help us and answer all our silly questions. We were given guides to the area and the pocket wifi was very much needed. Thanks for helping make our holiday run smoothly!

Definitely worth staying in nomad's apartment. She was kind enough to pick us up from mabashi station. She even bought for us charger for us to charge our devices. Thanks once again nomad. Have already recommend my friends to contact you through airbnb if they are to come to japan.

We are really appreciate to staying with this greatest host. The host has a quickly response even the small question. The host is really kind and helpfulness, they help everything that they can. The house is so value of money and convenient for both traveling by a car and train. There is a free parking space but also easily access to the train station. The facility in the house is enough comfortable. I would absolutely recommend to stay here, especially traveling with a big family or group. We thanks for everything.

Amazing house and incredible host!! The host answered and helped with every single question and difficulty we had in a quick and polite manner. The house is clean and new. We love the house so much as it is so spatially large for three of us. The rooms are perfect, tidy and plenty of space. I love the Japanese style toilet---big and you don't need to care if you will make it too wet. The location is fairly secluded. As we had a car (It's also provided with a free parking area as well. Best for driving around for sightseeing like us!), so it wasn't really a problem for us. Loads of restaurants around. So it is definitely worth every single penny that you pay for lol.

Very nice. Good.

it was clean and neat!

Easy to walk from the train station. Nice suburban neighborhood with newish houses and a park. Building is new and my unit was very clean and comfortable. Great shower/bath. A bit tricky to find as it doesn't face the main road, so ask for detailed directions. Across the street from a fire station, but it was quiet when I stayed. Kitchenette with microwave, mini fridge, and one electric stop top burner. Japanese style bed. AC unit in bedroom. The host was very kind and responded quickly, and even came to find me when I couldn't find the address. Great value for the price! I'd stay here again. :)

Have a good stay there.

there is no detailed explanation how to go to house, so you have to go 出入口2 and then you can find rawson convenience. then perfect exit !! anyway everything was good. very quite and clean. and the host also kind good !

The description was totally accurate. New house, clean and equipped with all basic things such as mini fridge, microwave, shampoo, etc. Location about 45 mins from Shinjuku. Got convenience store, 100Yen shop, coin laundry nearby this house. With that kind of price offered, totally value for money. Will stay again here next time.

Place is very clean and affordable! About 10mins walk from station, but station is abit far from Tokyo station. Many facilities provided such as cooking station, heating etc. Would stay again!

there is no fridge so be sure to bring some snaks and some cup nodels you can heat some base curry or soupe boil eggs and small cooking

値段からは想像もつかないくらい 快適でした。 タオルも洗剤のいい香りで 部屋にもアロマがあり 快適でした。 ありがとうございました。

I stayed at Ayano's apartment for 2 nights. The apartment was clean, near drug store, 7-11, super market and Mabashi station. Ayano was a great host, very communicative. The details to the apartment are very clear and complete. I would recommend this place.

Stayed for 3d2n...near to train station. nice host, we met her..place enough for 3 pax, and with 2 big and 3 small luggages. wifi very good to use.

We stay 4 days. It's very comfort/convenience apartment to enjoy Japan living style. Only one reminder to visitor that no elevator is available, if many luggage maybe feel trouble. In general, it's a good option for Ayano's apartment.

Good ! It's near from station.

The room is very clean and have everything you need. The mobile wifi is good for exploring around the city. It is near the station ( just 3 mins walk) and the environment is nice. However, the room is a bit small for 3 people.

They room was very well equipped. Pocket WiFi is essential for navigating Tokyo, and Ayano's room comes with one you can bring with you. The kitchen has everything you need for preparing a Japanese meal, however I rarely needed it due to the proximity to restaurants, convenience stores and the train station. If you have trouble initially finding the room, simply exit the train station as described, go forward until you hit the street (through the small park). Turn right and head to the seven eleven, then turn left and go past the drug store to the hair studio. Ayano has stocked the room with everything you might need: washing detergents (for the kitchen and clothes) shampoo, conditioner and body wash, hand soap, towels (including spares), cups and crockery. There is a hotplate, kettle, fridge and microwave. Aircon is a must in winter. Ayano has also made a handy folder with the instructions for everything in the room and a summary of the local area. She has a notebook for leaving notes to other guests, which is a nice touch. Check in is via a coded lock box at the door, so make sure you get the combination prior to arriving. If you need to get in contact with Ayano after arriving in Japan, seven elevens have free WiFi (7SPOT) which is great if you need directions etc. If you are travelling to the heart of Tokyo, a trip from Mabashi (the local station) to most prominent tourist locations is 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, usually transferring to the Yamanote Line at Nishi-Nippori. It is easy enough to figure out, but factor this into your travels. The local area has restaurants (mainly on the other side of the train station) and a few local shrines and a temple near the post office. Unfortunately I did not get to meet Ayano, but she was very helpful to me over AirBnB messenger and was ready to assist me with anything I needed. I stayed by myself, but a couple could easily stay here comfortably. You may fit 3 or 4 people (some sharing futons) at a pinch. If you are looking to stay slightly off the beaten track, but still with all the creature comforts and accessibility to Tokyo, I highly recommend this room.

Ayano's place is neat and well equipped. Also the place is near to bus stop and train station. It is really convenient and I highly recommend her place.

Nice room.

A tidy and clean place. I have more enjoyment by living in that kind Japanese apartment. The host is nice, he kindly solve the problems you have in Japan

Quaint and peaceful nook of Tokyo. A warm and pleasant stay.

Nao's place is very spacious and the pocket wifi was an awesome addition to our stay. It's in a very quiet neighborhood that is near Yashio station (not on the JR line). His arrival instructions were very clear and he was very accommodating with our late check in.

The place is accurately depicted as in the pictures. Clean, spacious with almost all basic necessities available. Within walking distance to the train station, and 2 bicycle is provided. The house is clean and tidy. Definitely a good deal. The only downside is the place is a bit further from most of the main attractions in Tokyo which required trains transfer so be prepared to spend a little bit more on train fare. The distance is not an issue for us though, after a long day of walking and sightseeing, coming home to a comfortable house is bliss.

I find the place very relaxing because of the very quiet neighborhood. Mr. Nao's communication is excellent and responsive.

We had a very good time staying at Nao's place. The apartment was perfect for 2-3 people :) Spacious and good lighting, and you will have all the facilities needed. Location-wise it is about 20 minutes walk from Yashio station but we prefer to use Nao's bikes to cycle around and enjoy the area! (Love the quality of the bike!) Even though Yashio is slightly away from the center of Tokyo, we do enjoy the quietness and calmness there, which is definitely a good getaway from the busy center :) Nao is a very nice caring host as well who occasionally asking if we are alright. We definitely had a good time in Yashio and will stay at Nao's if we ever come back ^^

Good location!!

If you plan to travel in Tokyo and around. This property is good for you. Althought a little bit far from the station. It can be accepted.(In case of couple Nao san prepared 2 bicycle for you) Moreover, pocket WIFI that Nao san prepared is good when you go outside.

Really nice Japanese style house. A bit far but convenience traffic, there is no problem to go around. The house is clean and comfort. Bamboo Stone Family are really nice and helpful.

I stayed four nights. The location of thr room is a bit far from Kanamachi Station. But the room was really nice.

The host was the best ever! They had the house set up perfectly! We didn't get a chance to meet them, but they were still very kind! The house is 20 minutes out of the way, but its really nice since its not too close to the busy city. The neighborhood was great! The Pocket wifi saved our lives!! We couldn't have loved it anymore!! Definetly reccommend staying here!!

Out of our whole trip we enjoyed staying at the bamboo stone apartment the most. The apartment was cosy and clean with a great veiw from the balcony of a cute little play ground with a cherry blossom tree. Eating at their udon resturant was the best yummiest food we had. We never got to meet our hosts but they were very quick to reply to our messages. Sleeping on the futons was an experiance, though different to what we are use to still the most comfortable beds of the trip. I highly recommend stay here as i know next time we come to tokyo this will be our first choice.

Really nice people even if we couldn't meet them and nice house with all accomodation! A bit far from Tokyo center but a train goes to main subway stations.

Kent & Nana & Kumi were really kind. They explained everything very well. And the apartment was exactly we imagined: Clean and cozy.

My trip to Japan started with a 26 hour delay in Auckland. When I landed I didn't speak a word of Japanese, but thankfully had a detailed set of instructions, provided by Kent and family to take me where I needed to go. The house was very cozy and tidy. I loved it. I had a wonderful experience. Thank you so much.

The apartment is very complete and beautiful. Super clean. Hosts are very kind and thoughtful. They will go out of their way to ensure one is comfortable. The park nearby is really nice for a day out. Fruits and vegetables are less expensive to buy than in other parts of the city. The only downside for us was that since its nos so close to the center of Tokyo one need too spend a bit more than expected on transportation.
