Great place for extended stay
We had a very nice four-week stay. The accommodations are on the first floor of a two-story home - four rooms (including Japanese tatami room with futons in closet, two bedrooms , and a dining kitchen) plus a large bathroom with deep bath and washing machine. The owners are on the second floor but we only met once so very private and not noisy. The host is very friendly and helpful - we mainly communicated by text message in English. It’s ideal for a multi-week stay for a couple or small family if you want to be self-sufficient, do some of your own cooking, and have more room than a hotel (but aren’t expecting comparable luxury). Also ideal if you want to visit Warner Bros Studio/Harry Potter. The neighborhood had a few nice and friendly restaurants, a great coffee roaster, a large movie theater, and even its own natural onsen bath. However, it is otherwise a quiet and out-of-the-way neighborhood, and you need to travel 30-60 minutes to reach areas of central Tokyo, depending on distance and subway connections. There are two train stations right next to each other (Oedo line and Toshima line). The listing address is somewhat difficult to find on Google maps, but the host sent coordinates and check-in instructions so getting there and in was easy. (It’s best to contact the host directly if you don’t get proper info from VRBO. She is trustworthy.)
