We picked this spot for its convenience near the Yamanote Line and the Ueno and Usuidagi stations. Having separate rooms was handy for our child, who filled one with all his toys. The apartment was nicely furnished and had high‑quality appliances. The kitchen only had a basic set (a pan and a pot), which might be the Japanese norm. The beds were French double beds, a bit too soft but useful after long walks.
We stayed on the ground floor, and coming from bright hotels and apartments in Osaka, Kyoto, and Kanazawa, we missed windows and direct light. There’s only one window in the bedroom, always covered by a curtain that we’d have liked to open. The low ceiling also made the space feel somewhat claustrophobic. Photos online gave a sense of more light and space. We’d have preferred a luggage drop‑off point and an extra coat rack; there’s only one in one of the small rooms. Perhaps this is the Tokyo standard, but a different layout might have helped. The check‑in required a Google Forms document that looked like a police form, which didn’t match Tokyo’s regulations. Inside the apartment we found a notice and mouse traps, though we never encountered any mice.
