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!

Alfie's place is a great place to stay if you're in Tokyo. The location is on a quiet street not far from shops, restaurants, and the metro. Alfie and Kenji were friendly and easy going. It is nicely decorated townhome with modern decor. I definitely recommend.

Alfie is nice, hospitality is just the place for our big boxes dragged four people a bit far from the JR line, very quiet residential Thank rich breakfast hospitality.

This was a great place. It's very clean and relatively spacious. The interior is nicely done and therefore you directly feel at home. The place is a little remote (10 minute walk from Kanamecco station) , but I didn't mind because the connections to shibiya and shinjuku are great. The place was a little cold in winter, but that counts for the whole of Tokyo. People don't isolate and switch heating off when they leave home. After 10 minutes of heating all is fine.

Very nice place, makes you feel like home. The location is near to Kanecho Station, one stop after Ikebukuro. You can spend one day nearby. Kenji and Alfie were so kind. Wish to see them next time.

After a recent stay of one week we highly recommend a stay with Alfie and Kenji. Their home is clean, well maintained, stylish, well considered for guests and very good value. The bedroom is well equipped with comfortable bed and there is plenty of wardrobe storage space. The neighbourhood is friendly, traditional and very quiet for Tokyo and a short walk to the subway. Alfie and Kenji are helpful with recommendations and advice but provide plenty of privacy for their guests. The level of hospitality is excellent- fresh clean towels every second day, freshly brewed coffee each morning and mobile pocket wifi to take with you each day.

Alfie's apartment was great! It's conveniently located near a 7-11, local restaurants and a subway that allows easy access to basically the entire east-side of Tokyo. The apartment is exactly as described with all the comforts of home. Both Alfie and Kenji are swell guys who went out of their way to assist and make us feel welcome.

Great stay! Alfie and Kenji has a beautiful home, it was modern and extremely clean. Great features such as a washing machine and a dryer, WIFI in the house and a pocket WIFI when traveling Tokyo and heating in the bedroom. If you don't mind sharing a home then this place is great. Japanese houses are built to hear things, unfortunately you sleep on the bottom floor so you may hear movement during the night and morning, aside from that it's a really nice stay.

This is a wonderful house so comfortable ,clean ,well-equipped and in a great location near Kanamecho station and convenience store. Alfie and Kenji are very accommodating. Would stay again when in Tokyo.

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

Super appartment in a really nice area. Creativity in decorating and handling the small space. One lttle remark: the bed is really small for two tall Dutch persons!

LP provided us with something you cannot usually just buy: a friendly reception from a local who is happy to provide guidance, recommendations, and tips which ultimately saved us time and money. This is above and beyond the place itself, which is adorable, design-oriented, hand-crafted, and full of charm — think Design Within Reach + Tiny House movement. Highly recommend

Lp and John are fantastic hosts! They are so kind and generous that you feel like home. I was lucky to chill out several times with them and enjoy all the tips. They made my stay an unforgettable experience. The neighborhood is for me the best part of Tokyo, easy access with a multitude of very good addresses. If you want a amazing stay in Tokyo, a full journey of laughter, happiness and adventure, do not hesitate: GO to the sweet Lp, the crazy John and the cute Psycho!

I can absolutely recommend John and LP's gorgeous place in Shibuya. Their attention to detail is impressive and they are fantastic hosts. Their studio has a unique Japanese charm. They made me feel welcome from start to finish. The place has everything you need, and is conveniently located in walking distance from the trendy neighborhoods of Daikanyama, Shibuya and Ebisu. Along with all other reviewers I have to agree: this has been one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had so far.

The apartments are located very close to the Shibuya district, within ten minutes walking time. The rooms are very design sense, see the owner's intentions and interest in life. Quilt a little bit small, but does not affect use. You can also use the blanket inside the door Oh ~ small cabinet with a full range of daily necessities of life; house appliances also quite wide, but did not find an electric kettle pity oh. Terrace planted small plants, where you can smoke on the wall CD player ~ I like ~ garbage needs to be put in the category of trash next to the restaurant downstairs - if you want to experience the local life around Young blocks, shopping in Shibuya, it would be a good choice ~

Evee though I had never met any of John &Lp. But I still feel very close with them. If u want a dreamlike trip, please choose them. intimate hotel and quiet atmosphere, look forward to seeing the next.

LP and Jon are great hosts who are easy to communicate with for any reasonable needs. When we arrived, everything was clean and presentable, along with a personalized welcome note. The room looks lovlier than in pictures and is an intelligently, well-designed, comfortable space that's a simple 8-10 minute stroll to Shibuya Station. Location is key when in Tokyo because an easily accessible place highly contributes to a great trip when your home is a short walk away... extremely recommended! Thank you for letting us stay, LP and Jon!

The host canceled my reservation 9 days before arrival.

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.

The house is wonderful, a great place to stay in Tokyo. I stayed for 7 days in total and loved it. I was there by myself a lot but when Hidenori and his family were home we shared the space together and shared a few meals etc. I slept in the basement which was very comfortable and there are all the facilities there you could need. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I can't say enough about how amazing my stay at Hidenori's home was. The house is beautiful - an architectural wonder. By far the highlight of the trip was how welcoming and friendly Hidenori and his friends and family were. I got to experience a few days in their life - meeting artist friends and joining tasty home cooked meals. Thank you for the awesome stay! I would love to come back one day.

Was good friendly environment.

Great home, fantastic hosts and recommendations to some of the best food in Tokyo. Worth staying a little out of the downtown for a real experience of living in Japan.

It was a great experience living in Kyodo house with Hide and his family. The house is great with sufficient space but a little bit cold in winter in the basement. I like the neighbourhood, it's very convenient, many good food and almost no tourists. Hope to go back again sometimes.

Kyodo House was a great experience - we loved the design of the house (being architects it was of great interest to us) and the hosts were very helpful and hospitable, we really enjoyed our stay.

Hide and his family are the ultimate hosts. There home is an impressive work of design. Staying in Setagaya really makes you feel like a local. When you stay with them you feel like part of the family :)

was a good experience stay 3night here,enjoy the sun bath ard the garden and top roof…thx yours help in tokyo.

Good place

Sulju gave me a warm welcome. Through a minor miscommunication (my Japanese is poor), she was about to come pick me up from my previous location when I walked up to the property. Sulju's apartment is clean and spacious, with a breezy balcony. The futon is comfortable. The pocket wifi was convenient. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, but still close to a main street with restaurants and a ¥100 shop, and Shinjuku and Kabukichō are only minutes away by foot. The sounds of children playing at the nearby elementary school was lively during the day. Sulju and her assistants are quick to respond to questions. Note that the washer is not in the unit. The bathroom had an unpleasant odor that should be looked into.

A nice and cozy apartment with a small kitchen. It's conveniently located near metro stations and many places to eat just off a quiet side street. I would stay here again.

Even if she doesn't speak english, Sulju was a caring and responsive. The appartment is spacy, clean and really close to Toei lines. You can even go in Shinjuku's center by walk within 10 minutes. Next time in Tokyo, I'll choose this appartment again. Best regards from France !

Sulji was a friendly host, even though she has limited English you can use translation apps and understand her. I checked in at around 00.30 and she came to meet me. Great location in Shinjuku-Okubo, close to nagi golden gai and Shinjuku station for transport links. The room was clean and comfortable. Thanks again for a great stay!

Clean and practical. Given the limited spaces in Tokyo central, it was more than suitable for me and my kids. Reasonably close to few restaurants, 7/11 and the MRT. Sulju was promptly available to help us check in and check out.

Sulju is very kind and helpful. I really enjoyed staying at her place. It's close to several stations, and there are many places to eat nearby. It's tucked into a back street, so it's quiet. If you're a business traveler, or a tourist, you can easily relax after a day out. I highly recommend this place.

Shinjuku is only a 10-15 min walk away, but the apartment is tucked away in a quiet backstreet, so it's nice and quiet. The apartment is small and amenities are basic, but it was great for my needs (budget, central, clean). Sulju is lovely and came to meet me at the station to show me the way. Her English is very limited, but it was fun trying to communicate through translator apps. I'd definitely stay here again.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Very near to Shinjuku train station.

Has everything you need for your stay in Tokyo.

位置不错,环境也很好,住得很舒服,房东人也很好,以后来东京还会选这。

Fantastic experience! We stayed in this apartment for 7 days, and it really made our stay i Tokyo so great! The location is the best with 1 minute walk to okubo station and only a few minutes to Shinjuku. The host were so helpfull and nice to us, helping us with everything and making our stay really comfortable. The apartment is really big and clean, with everything you need to cook and live there. It really felt like a home! One of the best airbnb experince ever.

Great host. Very good at communicating and very accommodating.
