Disliked: Cleanliness
The host was flexible and responsive when we needed to change our dates prior to our arrival, and the location in Ebisu was great. In terms of the accommodations, in general, it didn’t feel very clean and as a result, I never fully felt comfortable during our stay. The “couch” which is closer to a bench, was filthy beneath the cover that’s draped over, the shades and walls had stains, the shower had mildew, there were stains on the floor and on the dining table stools that were dirtier than chairs you’d find in a restaurant. In the sleeping room was dust - and again, stains on the curtain that was right next to our bed. This lack of cleanliness felt even worse given how small the space was. From the photos, it looks like there is a couch and dining table but in reality, the dining table that is tucked against a wall if literally right in front of the couch. And the “kitchen” is a few feet away and next to the kitchen sink are bathroom sinks. I realize everything is small in Japan, but the pictures are misreading. And the stairs are so steep, I would make sure to warn any families with children or elders. I can’t say that I’d recommend this apartment to other travelers. I gave my feedback to the host upon my return, but did not hear back, which compelled me to write a review here.
