We stayed at several places in Tokyo and this was the most comfortable stay we had! Alfie and Kenji were great hosts, really approachable people! Their house was well furnished with gadgets and exactly as depicted in pictures. The neighborhood felt really safe and the road to the house from the station was well lit even late at night. Thanks for making our short stay at your house so comfortable!

We love staying at Alfies house. Its very comfy and clean. We met Alfie when we check in late night and he was extremely helpful and nice. Though we were out most of the time, its so nice to be back in the house after whole day sightseeing and shopping. The living area is so cozy and we did enjoy the time there after tiring days. We've enjoyed chatting with Alfie during a night when we were home a little early. I highly recommend Alfies place to stay.

Alfie has been a very kind host, and the house was remarkably clean and tidy. It was a pleasure to spend three nights at his place!

Many thanks for Alfie & Kenji 's help,they are super nice.The house is quite clean and comfortable as well as with stylish decoration,my firends & me are love it so much.Alfie prepare nice breakfast for us everyday and Kenji also provide lots of useful information for my Tokyo trip.Really recommend living their place and it's my first amazing experience book with airbnb,thanks again Alfie & Kenji :)

My partner an I had the pleasure of staying at Alfie and Kenjis place for 6 days in April and it was fantastic! They were both super friendly and happy to help (plus they provided tasty pastries every morning, which may have got us addicted to buying every pastry we saw once we left Tokyo). Their place was close to excellent travel links and the mifi was a real life saver. The house itself was clean and very modern with lots of cool features. The only regret we had from our stay with them is not being able to have a proper chat with them (we seemed to be out till 11/12pm most nights). I would recommend their house to anyone! :)

Alfie has a beautiful home situated in a quiet are of the city. He provided us with easy to follow directions to get there and the Tokyo subway was within easy walking distance which allowed us to get anywhere we wanted to go. They had helpful guide books in the room, were very communicative during our stay, providing us with suggestions and tips for our time in Tokyo. They even pointed us towards a festival that was being held in Shinjuku which was a fantastic experience. Solomon and I had a great time both in Tokyo and hanging out with Alfie and Kenji!! They were great hosts and I would recommend a stay here to anyone. Thanks for the fantastic memories!

- Very beautiful,clean and well located apartment. - Perfect hosts. Thanks Alfie and Kenji for your hospitatity! Till today, simply our best airbnb-experience.

Nice place, just one station away from Ikebukuro. Very easy to go to other places in Tokyo. Alfie gave us a lot of privacy. Bread, fruits, and coffee are provided every day.

This apartment was just lovely. The place was clean, the beds were soft, the shower was hot (although it was a shared bathroom, we never had any problems waiting on it to be available). They also thought of lots of little necessities that made it feel like home: there were fresh towels, shampoo and body soap, and tea! As for Koji & Nami, they were AMAZING hosts. We had a last minute change in travel plans and they were able to find us a place to stay when all hotels we could find were booked--while they were in Canada, no less! They were eager to give us all sorts of tips on where to go in Tokyo and in Japan writ large, and the next time we are in Tokyo, we will definitely be staying here again!

A brand new house in an authentic residential neighbourhood. Small as Japanese houses are, but well laid out and comfortable. Modern and sophisticated appliances. The gas heater is very effective. The hosts dropped in and brought fresh towels and took garbage out, which they weren't expected to do. The portable hot spot is very thoughtful.

Owner is so funny that he made a big note stick at the outer door, even draw a lovely cartoon figure on it who has the same family name with me! :) That made my all family smile at first minute when we saw the house. The rooms are all warm and lovely with whole wood structure. The firts time I saw it I feel like I'm at home. And, my son really fell in love with it when he got into~~~:) Besides the gift -- a big bottle of orange juice, Mr. T gave us a lot help, from changing the towers every day to offering the infromation of different tourist spots in Tokyo, till drove us to the closet big train station for our convenience to get on the express line to the airport. The house is located at north-east corner of Tokyo, 5 minutes to the nearest station by foot, and the neighborhood is really quiet at all the time. So it's good for sleeping at night. Just be careful when you may change the train at the 押上 stop for going to downtown or back to house, cause some express line don't stop there. My familly--4 persons spent great 4 nights in the PINE house, it's a good, comfortable and wonderful experience for us with all the help and support from the owners, especially Mr.T, thanks again!

Everything was perfect. Koji, Mr T and Nami took very good care of us. Way beyond our expectations.

Koji, Nami and Mr. T are the best hosts! The Pine Room exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean, very cozy and had everything we needed (including pocket wifi which was so helpful!!!). Tatetshi was the perfect launching point to explore Tokyo. We enjoyed local cuisine, toured temples and shrines, attended the sumo tournament, participated in a tea ceremony, explored the Tsukiji Fish Market and many different neighborhoods. One of the nights we even had the privilege of going out to dinner and drinks with Mr. T which was so much fun!

Koji & Nami & Mr. T are the best!!! The first night me and my girlfriend arrived there was a get together for all the guests at their house with Japanese pancakes and plum wine. It was excellent! They gave us such a warm welcome and always made sure we were ok. They left us detailed directions and very helpful recommendations to the best local food and they helped us with whatever we needed. GO OUT WITH MR. T! He doesn't speak much english but that doesn't mean there won't be tons of laughs! Not to mention the best sushi you will ever have in your life. I would come back and stay here any chance I get. I would even just come to hang out!

Both Koji and Nami were very nice and offered any amount of advise .the apartment was extremely clean, beds great,all things in the apartment were very clean and tidy as for location it was great walking distance to the train to central Tokyo. Train timetables and what train to take along with time taken to get to major attractions were very helpful, would definitely use them again

Everything was good

Квартира очень приятная и полностью соответствует описанию. Находится в пятнадцати минутах ходьбы от крупной станции JR и метро Ikebukuro. Если вы с тяжелым багажом - лучше воспользоваться такси - стоимость 730 йен. Выход из JR station - в северный выход.( North Gate) Сама квартира находится в очень тихом месте. Огромным подспорьем был переносной WI FI роутер - без него в городе иностранцу было бы сложновато.Проблем коммуникаций с Бреттом не возникло, правда, встретиться нам не удалось) Квартиру однозначно можно рекомендовать для посещения Токио

les informations par mail ont été efficaces

The appartment is as you see it in the photos. We really liked it and enjoyed our stay. Brett's and Yurie's instructions were awesome and we found it without problems! The only thing is that it is a bit far from the nearest metro station (around 15 - 18 minutes walking from Ikebukuro station), but there is a bus stop just a couple minutes from the appartment so if you don't want to walk you can always take the bus. We were three people staying in the appartment and obviously after having an extra bed there isn't much room left. I would highly recommend it if you are two people staying and, if you are three and you don't mind being in a small place, it's a very nice place. Also, there are three different supermarkets very close from the house so very convenient.

L'appartement est parfait pour 2 personnes, propre avec un lit confortable, a à peine 10min d'Ikebukuro (gare très bien desservie tant par le metro que les lignes JR) dans un quartier calme. Très bon séjour thank you Brett!

We had a wonderderful stay in Brett and Yuri's place. The appartment is great : nice, cosy, calm, very well decorated and with all necessary amenities. We really felt at home ! Brett is a great host. He was very friendly and caring, making sure all along our stay that we did not need anything. We definitely recommend this place which is a very good value for money, our only regret is to have stayed there only three days...

The place is very cozy and clean. Not in the central district but it can be easily reached by a 10 mins walk. Family Mart and a 24 hour local restaurant is just 2 mins walk away. The room is the same as described. I would recommend this place to others who wants to experience living in a local, quiet area.

It was a great experience visiting Japan and staying at Brett and Yuri's apartment, the neighborhood is really nice and quite and the apartment is very comfortable and easy to reach. There are a lot of restaurants and mini markets around, the ikebukuro station is 15 min by walking from the apartments, we really loved the location. Brett and Yurie were very helpful with everything , they provided all the needed information before and after our arrival; the wifi pocket was great and helped us a lot to get around the city. We definitely would stay again at their place ! Thanks Brett and Yurie for your attentions !

It is my second time stay in here. The host, Brett is a very friendly and helpful guy. The house is very good ( pls refer to my previous comment ). I highly recommend you to stay here. For my future trips in Tokyo, Brett,s house is always my first choice.

Nice to stay with Alan he keep the house very clean and the house near to metro 2 mins

Alan is very kind, nice host. it will be good choice.

今回はGWの旅行で利用させてもらいました。立地は越谷レイクタウン駅から歩いて1.2分で場所も分かりやすかったです。利用させて頂いた部屋はとても清潔感あり、1泊2日でAlanさん含めご家族の方にとても良くしてもらいました。 楽しい旅行となりました!ありがとうございました。

Good location to visit Lake Town. It will take less than 1hour to access various areas in Tokyo. Alan assisted our stay a lot though we have some special requirements. We will visit his place again when we come back to Japan.

Alan's place was perfect as it was near for my works in tokyo. Alan was very helpful, despite his busy schedule he helped us providing all the informations. His house has a big living and dining room. Since it didnt have facilities that may be very essential during your stay, like washing machine, refrigirator, microwave etc we had to manage without it for this short term stay. Rest of the environment was perfect.

alan was so nice to us! he even waited for us at the station to show his place. really glad we chose his place in the first place!

新築で部屋はきれいでした。越谷レイクタウンだと宿泊が少ないので助かりました。

Alan's place is pretty new. The location is great, very close to the best and biggest shopping mall in Tokyo. Only 2min walk by. He even ask friend to pick up us in Station as he was working that day. The place is new, clean, family friendly!Nice chatting with Alan and he even make breakfast for us. Amazing Experience to stay here and Definitely I will stay here next time when I come.

Michiko est une hôte très charmante, disponible pour vous conseiller et même pour faire une sortie. C'est une personne cultivée et qui parle parfaitement anglais et légèrement le français, alors j'ai passé de très agréables moments avec elle à bavarder de tout et de rien en fin de soirée. Ce qui est bien quand on voyage seul et qu'il soit possible de partager les moments de la journée avec quelqu'un. Je le recommande, arigato gozaimazu Michiko!

Helpful host, but a bit messy place. And its very far from everything. Recomend it for people who want somewere quiet.

Great place with a very helpful, considerate host that speaks fluent English! Not easy to come by in Japan. Incredible price, the place is very nice and not what you might expect for the cost.

During my stay, Masuda San and I had friendly exchanges over a wide range of topics. I enjoyed and have learned a great deal about the many aspects of the Japanese community, the Japanese language and particularly the Haiku. Masuda San had let me read and explained to me her Haikus. And most pleasantly unexpectedly, at the end, Masuda had given me a copy of her published book on Haikus, entitled Confessions from a Japanese Girl. My stay in Masuda's place had turned out to be most pleasant and educational. The size of the room also turned out to be a surprise. It's very big and elegantly decorated and clean. The bath room is spacious, clean and fully equipped. I had a good start everyday. The flat is about 15 minutes' walk from the nearest train station, where, in the surrounding, all the daily commodities are available, plus a good choices of restaurants and take outs. Masuda San is friendly, sociable and knowledgeable.

物件や場所の説明など的確で滞在中はとても快適に過ごせました。またお願いしたいと思います。

Host is nice and easy to communicate with. The place is about 15 min normal walk to the station. Except some religious bell ring everyday but compared to many other places I stayed in Japan, It's a super quiet place. A balcony facing south. The sleeping private room is with tatami mats and a big carpet and the room is with sliding doors into the living room. It's a shared flat It's a bit remote concerning eating and shopping so social life and shopping have to happen somewhere else, Besides that I really enjoyed my stay.

章一さんは優しくてコクテル、ピアノ、車、食べ物にとても詳しい日本人です。大変おせわになりました。环境很安静,虽然房间有些小,但是想体验日本人的生活、想喝美酒、体验温泉、美食、探讨汽车和音乐的话,Shoichi先生绝对是最好的房东。推荐!

チェックイン時にホストと連絡が取れなかった事が残念でした。ショウイチさんは気さくで多趣味な方で、美味しいカクテルと共にいろいろな興味のあるお話をしていただきました。 朝ごはんも美味しかったです! ありがとうございました!

This place is in border of Tokyo in Saitama. Its 15 minutes from Souka station. It's good value for money. It is a One bed room apartment and I slept in living room. . Shoichi is real good guy and friendly. If some one want to experience Japanese standard living.. this is the place at reasonable cost.

Sono stati 10 giorni in cui mi sono sentito ospitato da un amico,anche se abbiamo passato poco tempo insieme

The host is nice and friendly, we had fun using (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translate for communication. It was totally a surprise and really nice for him to cook simple dinner and breakfast for me, totally unexpected. This is a perfect place for a backpacker to spend a night for that price.

The place is perfect for single guys travelling in Japan for a shirt while. Stayed in Shoiichi's house for a week, he shared some of his cooking with me, and he plays the piano! Thank you very much for your kindness and hospitality Mr. Shoiichi!

I was really happy to stay at Shoichi San's place although it was hard to find the place in the beginning. Shoichi San is very friendly, patient and relaxed, which made my stay comfortable. He also prepared meals for me carefully, which were really nice! And like other travellers have experienced, he brought me to a nearby Soba shop, which was very delicious, and showed me the Japanese way of having a meal. He also made some cocktails for me, although I was not an alcohol person, I still enjoyed them! Shoichi San also showed me his games and his favourite music, very nice! Right, I think it is better to clarify whether the guest sleeps in the living room or the bedroom, I felt sorry that Shoichi San slept outside, and I slept inside. I wish I could stay in touch with Shoichi San, although he seems to be very busy most of the days. Happy life, Shoichi San!

Отлично провел время. Шоичи-сан замечательный человек! Дом находится недалеко от станции Яцука, откуда легко добраться до Акихабары. Рекомендую. Everything was great. I recommend.

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