Holiday Apartments in Tokyo

The hotel is very close to Yushima subway station, but transferring there isn't very convenient. We ended up using another station which was further away. It's quite close to the University of Tokyo. The area around the hotel lacks a commercial street, so it's pretty quiet at night. The room itself was large and new, with a washer and dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen – perfect for buying some Wagyu from the supermarket and cooking it yourself. The shower pressure wasn't great and the water was a bit cold. Daily housekeeping for extended stays costs extra, and after just one day, the trash bins were overflowing.

The convenient location has been mentioned before, so I won't repeat it. The kitchen, living room, and tatami room all face the Imperial Palace, offering a rare green view. The only downside is that directly below the windows, about two or three floors down, there seems to be a concentrated area for the building's central air conditioning units or other facilities. The continuous low-frequency noise is quite noticeable at night and directly affects the tatami room, which isn't ideal for light sleepers.

We traveled with a group of five. The apartment was quite spacious for the number of people, very clean, with a balcony and a traditional-style room. It had everything necessary for a large group: two showers, toiletries for washing and bathing, a washing machine with detergent, shoe shine equipment, an iron, a small ironing board, and other household items. It's located a 5-minute walk from Asakusa Temple and about a 10-15-minute walk to the nearest subway station. There are several 7-11 stores, cafes, and bars nearby. The only downside is that you have to carry luggage up a rather small staircase to the 3rd floor, but overall, it's tolerable.

Sun Place is one of the best place we have stayed. Clean. Comfy. Quiet environment. Complete amenities. Hot shower is great. Toilet and bath are separated. The kitchen has 3burner stove + griller and microwave, ref with big freezer. The place itself are very near conveniemce stores, many restaurants. The yochoko has many bars and coffee shops. There are 2 stations, oedo and iidabashi (4 connectiing lines) and iidabashi station itself is very nice. As if you are in another place when you stay here. I highly recommend this place.

A Stay That Feels Like Coming Home – My Honest Review 1. Prime Location, Peaceful Setting Tucked just a short stroll from Shinagawa Station, this guesthouse is brilliantly located for exploring Tokyo. Despite being so close to a major transport hub, the neighborhood is remarkably quiet and residential. Finding the place was a breeze – clear instructions and a distinctive exterior made it instantly recognizable. 2. Thoughtful, Characterful Interior Design This is no cookie-cutter hostel. The owner has poured genuine creativity into every corner – vintage posters, handmade handpicked furniture, and an artsy blend of retro and modern elements. I booked a single bed this time, but unlike the typical 10-square-meter hotel boxes in Tokyo, my space felt genuinely roomy. I could stretch out, lay open my suitcase, and still have floor space to do morning stretches – a rare luxury for solo travelers. 3. Fully Equipped – With Surprising Extras The amenities go way beyond basics. A full kitchen with cookware, a washing machine. But the real delight? The owner’s personal toy collection scattered around – retro figures, board games, and quirky knickknacks to tinker with. And the crown jewel: a vintage record player with a curated vinyl selection, plus a compact DJ setup. I spent one evening spinning tracks with the host personal collections – an unforgettable Tokyo memory. 4. The Host – Warm, Witty, and Genuinely Sociable The owner is the heart of this place. They greet every guest like an old friend, share honest food recommendations for the local alleyways (I tried three of his tips – all phenomenal), and even bring their little dog down to the common area in some evenings. We’d gather around, sip drinks, chat about life, and laugh at their stories. It’s that rare blend of hospitality and authenticity that you can’t book – it just happens. Who Would Love This Place? Solo adventurers who crave connection but value their own space. Digital nomads needing room to work and relax. Music lovers, design nerds, and anyone tired of sterile hotel chains. If you’re traveling alone in Japan and actually want to make friends – over a shared meal, a vinyl crackle, or a dog’s gentle nudge – this is your spot. Highly, highly recommended.

Thank you very much for our comfortable stay at your hotel. The keyless access to both the hotel and the room was incredibly convenient. Contactless check-in and check-out were also very easy. The location is wonderful – there are many cafes, restaurants, and shops nearby. With three subway stations close by, it's easy to get to any part of Tokyo and beyond. The area itself is quiet, making it pleasant to return after visiting bustling places and enjoy a peaceful stroll around the neighborhood. The room had everything we needed: air conditioning, an ironing board, an iron, a vacuum cleaner, laundry detergent, toilet paper, tissues, dishes, dish soap, a hairdryer, two large and two small towels, shower gel, shampoo, and hair conditioner. Communication throughout our stay was polite, and we received prompt responses. We were very satisfied and will definitely return!

What I liked most was the apartment's location – a quiet alley in a great neighborhood, just a three-minute walk from the metro station. The check-in and check-out process was convenient and contactless. From the photos, the two-story apartment seemed a bit more spacious, but overall we managed – we stayed there for 11 nights with three of us. Downsides: - The sofa bed didn't fully unfold because of the wall opposite it, which made it impossible to put an additional mattress on top. - After moving the mattress to the top of the wardrobe, we noticed how long it had been since it was cleaned – the entire mattress was covered in dust bunnies. Initially, it was also a bit unusual to meticulously sort our trash (there's a system of special containers for it), but after a few days, we got used to it and didn't find it irritating. Overall, the value for money is more than acceptable. The apartment is quite clean (aside from an unremovable stain on the carpet, dust on the wardrobe, and not-so-clean dishes). It has everything you need, including a washing machine, dehumidifier, hairdryer, towels, and a set of toiletries. Thanks!

I'd like to point out the apartment's excellent location: the building is right next to the metro exit. The view from the balcony is excellent. The neighborhood is very quiet, with plenty of convenience stores nearby, a 10-minute walk to the SkyTower shopping center, and plenty of nice restaurants nearby. It's interesting that when you step outside, it's very quiet, but in the apartment with the open balcony, you can hear a lot of traffic noise. There was enough space for three of us, but the fold-out sofa isn't very comfortable. We used a mattress, an extra blanket, and a blanket underneath ourselves to soften it, but overall, we didn't have any problems, such as back pain. The apartment includes an iron, a microwave, and other kitchen appliances. There's a washing machine, but it wasn't plugged in, so we didn't bother fixing it ourselves. There was a hair dryer, but it was very weak and dusty. When you turn it on, it starts to smell burnt, so we didn't use it. The apartment itself is in good condition, but it feels like it could quickly become too old. Aside from the hair dryer, there was a dirty sheet in the linen set. We informed the owner, who apologized and offered to send a new set, but we only found another sheet. We also mentioned that there would be three of us staying, but the ”sofa” wasn't made, so we had to make it ourselves.

We booked for a stay for 10 days. Location wise its about a 5 min walk from Mikawashima station and 12 mins from Nippori Station. Only downside is that to get to Mikawashima you had to take the Joban line, which you had to change trains at either Ueno or Nippori. There is a 7/11 downstairs and a supermarket downstairs which makes buying snacks or drinks convenient. There was no elevator so expect to haul luggage up the stairs, best to request a level one or two room. I got a level 2 room which was adequate for us as it wasnt that much of a climb up. The room was small (expected of a tokyo apartment). The kitchen has plates, cups, pots, pans, kettle, a stove and a microwave. Great for cooking something or heating up a meal from the 7/11 downstairs. There was also a mini fridge to store drinks and such. Our room included 2 beds and a TV, along with a clothing rack and a wardrobe with an iron and ironing board inside it. One of the beds was squeaking alot when moving around in the bed, it wasnt very bad but it got abit annoying when moving around while sleeping at night. Clothing rack was placed right above our beds which i understand was due to the limited space. There are alternative places to hang clothes such as aforementioned wardrobe and in the toilet. The toilet included a smart toilet which had a bidet and heated seats, perfect for the cold weather. There was a washing machine inside, great for those on long stays. There was also a shower and bath included. Bath was pretty small but not surprising as Japanese bath were known to be small. Amenities included shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hairdryer, washing detergent and toothbrush set. You would also need to sort out your trash which was labelled nicely in english for us to understand. Overall for the price of this apartment, it was a great place with great amenities, better than what we had expected. Would definitely recommend.

The room was nice and clean
