Shimokita Stay has been the best VRBO experience I have had in many trips to Tokyo. The cozy apartment is nicely designed and well-equipped; we didn't have to buy anything like we normally do. It's fairly roomy by Tokyo standards, with more closet space than we normally find, and has a lovely, private patio. The host, Mari, is friendly and very responsive. Lastly, Shimo-Kitazawa is one of our favorite neighborhoods in Tokyo. So many restaurants, shops, vintage stores, a big supermarket, and two convenient train lines within a five-minute walk. We were delighted by our four-week stay. We plan to book Shimokita Stay again for two months when we return next year.
