Pros:

Ich hatte einen tollen Aufenthalt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Sauberkeit und die gut ausgestattete Küche, in der man problemlos selbst kochen kann. Die Anbindung an den ÖPNV ist perfekt (nur wenige Minuten Fußweg). Der Kontakt zum Gastgeber war unkompliziert und er war bei Fragen sofort erreichbar. Absolute Empfehlung!

Pros:

Konumu güzel

Cons:

Katlara yangın merdiveni gibi dar merdivenlerden çıkmanız gerekiyor. Asansör yok. Biz en üst 4.kattaydik Valiz ile inip çıkmak zor oldu. Yatak 2 kişilik gibi değil de 1.5 kişilik gibiydi. Yastıklar hiç rahat değildi. 9 gece kaldık hiç temizlik yapılmadı. Kısa süreli konaklamalarda ihtiyaç olmayabilir ama 9 günlük konaklama için en azından 1 kez temizlik yapılabilirdi. Check out sonrası Bavulları birakabileceginiz bir alan yok.

Rats
Cons:

You could hear the rats crawling in the walls, especially at night. You could also hear them in the trashcans right outside the hostel. We spent the whole stay worrying about the rats finding their way into the room.

Pros:

Proximity to the railway station;
Hairdryer
Microwave
Cookware
Pleasant person responding to queries.
Overall it is a passable accommodation if you are in this location and plan to spend most time outside, using it only for the night. Better not to recommend it for families of four, with kids.

Cons:

There was a stenchy smell in the bathroom from the pipes and in the room, a smelling a bit like fungus, the sink in the bathroom was partially clogged, there was no table, one small table was stored in the wardrobe but there was nowhere to place it really to use it and it was a size of a bedside table so anyhow to small to use for anything more than a cup of tea. There was one tiny garbage bin, hight of roughly 20cm, diameter of 10cm, while there is a requirement to sort garbage in Tokyo, which made it impossible. There was barely any space in the kitchen area to act as a space to cut items, prep meal.
The room looked at least 1level worse than what was advertised in the pictures, no comforters, no additional small pillows, no decoration. Room was very minimalistic and cramped for 4 people. It would work much better for 2people.

Great location, fast wifi, lots of halal options nearby
Pros:

The place is perfect for 2 adults and very cozy, we enjoyed the neighbourhood and the convenience of the location and the many halal food shops nearby!

Cons:

It might be a squeeze if you’re a taller and bigger built.. perhaps more hangers in the closet? As we didn’t utilise it that much

Pros:

Η επίπλωση ήταν μοντέρνα κ σε καλή κατάσταση.
Υπήρχε ησυχία
Κοιμήθηκα πολύ καλά!!!
Ζεσταίνετε γρήγορα κ πολύ καλά.
Για 1 άτομο μόνο είναι το δωμάτιο.
Τα είχε όλα. όμως σε λίγα τετραγωνικά
Κοντά σε σταθμό.10' σε καλή βολική γραμμή μέτρο
Καλή τιμή για Τοκιο

Cons:

Η ντουλάπα μυρίζει μούχλα ,κ είναι παλιά εντοιχισμενη.Θα μπορούσαν να βάλουν μια καινούργια.
Κρίμα...
Μια εξωτερική κρεμαστά χρειάζεται για να κρέμας τα ρούχα σε ένα τόσο μικρό δωματιο
Οπωσδήποτε αλλαγή του τεράστιου παραθύρου...μπαίνει κρύο από τις χαραμάδες και είναι κολλητά στο κρεββάτι
Είναι πολύ μικρό το δωμάτιο,αλλά μάλλον είναι συνηθισμένο αυτό στο Τόκιο.
Τέλος το τεράστιο παράθυρο είναι διακοσμητικό δεν βλέπει(σε έναν τοίχο στους 30 ποντους) πουθενά ούτε ανοίγει...
