Ayaka's House

Comfortable and suited us as a family of 4 to spend a few days in Tokyo. We had space to move around. Also well equipped in terms of laundry and kitchen facilities.

Stairs were a challenge to navigate with big suitcases. There were many things in the kitchen cupboards which made it cluttered when trying to look for something.

I loved the location — it’s only minutes away from the subway station, main attractions, restaurants, and supermarkets, making it extremely convenient. The accommodation provides all the cooking appliances and utensils, which was a big plus. I also loved that each level has its own bathroom. Overall, it was quite spacious for Tokyo living standards and very comfortable.

The internal stairs are quite tight and steep, which may be difficult for elderly guests and may not be very safe for toddlers, though younger people should have no issues. The external stairs can also be a bit challenging when carrying larger or heavier luggage. Additionally, the washing machine is located in the living room and could benefit from a drum clean, as the outer rim appeared a bit dirty.

Quaint stay for a group of 4 adults for 10 nights. After rearranging the living room a bit, we were able to place down 2 additional futons for each person to have their own personal space for sleep but can be tight at times especially if everyone has their own luggage. Close to the Tokyo Metro Tawaramachi station which makes it convenient (especially if you are redeeming the 24/48/72-hour Tokyo Subway ticket) and quiet since it was away from the main roads. Washing machine and dryer combo worked wonderfully for us. Unfortunately did not use the kitchen so I am not able to comment on it, but the fridge and microwave were great to use during late nights and when we were in a rush. Plenty of towels for use and tissue boxes were abundant. Edit: We definitely used the upstairs space. We just wanted one bed each, aha. There is a bed upstairs, a bed directly next to the kitchen area, and we put down two futons in the general living space.

The stairs are very steep, outside and inside, so please be mindful. Couldn't use the only bathtub downstairs but that was okay. And the main washroom right next to the kitchen isn't really private, so use it if you're super comfortable with the company you're with.

Location extremely convenient, well connected to everything around Asakusa The host is warm and helpful.

House is too cramped and crowded. It is filled with unwanted things. We were a group of 5 girls and took the entire apartment but it was claustrophobic The bathroom and toilets are tiny and not well located in the house. You have to climb 10 steep steps to get in the house with luggage. House is too small. Only a family of 4 (couple and 2 young kids) can stay in this house. The lights on the 2F didn't work at all. Wifi was an issue too. Overall not happy for the price i paid.
