Persistent musty smell – would not recommend
Location
The apartment had a persistent, unpleasant musty smell, similar to mold mixed with the smell of smelly shoes. Keeping the windows open or the AC running made it less intense, but it never disappeared completely. The smell was especially strong whenever we returned after spending the day out. We even bought an odor-neutralizing spray, but it made no difference.
The smell was so persistent that even after returning home, we had to wash our clothes because they had absorbed the odor. This included not only the clothes we had worn, but also clean clothes and jackets that had been stored in the wardrobe. Even our bags and some of our other belongings absorbed the smell.
The apartment also looked much less cozy than in the photos. The towels were thin, worn out, and had loose threads, and one slipper had a brown stain despite being wrapped in plastic as if it were clean.
The staff eventually delivered fresh towels and slippers, which we appreciated. However, their response to the smell was disappointing. We were told that the cleaning company hadn't noticed anything unusual, and later that staff had checked the apartment but detected no obvious odor. Their only suggestion was to turn on the exhaust fan, which didn't solve the problem. Given how strong and persistent the smell was, we found this difficult to understand.
Similar complaints about unpleasant smells can also be found in other Booking.com reviews, so this clearly doesn't seem to be an isolated incident. If you're considering booking this apartment because of its convenient location close to the city centre, be aware that the smell may seriously affect your stay, as it did ours.
Overall, the apartment did not live up to the photos or our expectations, and the smell seriously affected our stay. We appreciate that fresh towels and slippers were provided, but the main issue remained unresolved. We would not stay here again.

Great hidden gem, close walk to train stations and major sites.
The location was great, close to Asakusa and the Skytree but off a quiet road. They had space to store luggage and the room was spacious for Tokyo with many amenities.

Very nice view from balcony.
Grate location for short Tokyo stay. Good amenities.
Chopping board in the kitchen and more kitchen clothes to dry dishes after breakfast wash.

A okay place for short stay, one night might be ideal as the place is a bit small. I recommend for max of 2 or 3 adults.
Somewhat convenient location, 12 to 15 minutes walking to Senso-ji, 12 minutes walk to asakusa station.
1- When we arrive there was a strong smell, not sure if because of cleaning products.
2- The manager or staff mentioned the day we arrived the staff was not there anymore and they 3 out of 4 toiletries which it would be brought next day as we stayed 2 nights, although they never came.
3- During the checkout the neighbour next door was a bit weird, she went out of her apartment and stayed there until we left.
Lage ist super für eine Familie, ruhige Umgebung trotzdem fußläufig alles wichtige verfügbar und man ist schnell an allen wichtigen Orten. Das Appartement hat alles was man als Familie auch für 7 Tage benötigt.

Apartamento aconchegante e bem decorado, com camas confortáveis e o espaço bem aproveitado. Estava limpo, com toalhas prontas e ar-condicionado funcionando bem. Ótimo para uma estadia de uma semana em Tóquio, com estação de metrô por perto e fácil acesso às principais atrações. Anfitrião atencioso e check-in sem complicação.
Nada que tenha atrapalhado. O espaço é compacto, como é comum em Tóquio, então vale organizar bem as malas, principalmente para quem viaja em família.

住宿空間十分裡面十分,可以洗衣服非常方便,空間也很舒服,電視有點太偏了,但不是什麼大問題
可能是位置?走到車站也都還是要個10分鐘左右,不適合懶人

I would have liked a tea towel to dry dishes. It would have been nice to have tea and coffee and milk. A suggestion would be if you are going to continue to cater for Western tourists then please provide a electric toaster. We couldn't have any breakfast during our stay which was very frustrating.
Towels were very small. No toaster. No glasses only cups. I expected a little bit more essential items to be provided so we could cook.
