Just what the family needed
We had a great stay and Kevin made it very easy for us on our first family trip to Japan. Easy access to trains, stores and restaurants with great recommendations. The house was perfect for transitioning to Tokyo time and well stocked with everything needed. Highly recommend

Great stay on quiet street
This was an amazing place to stay. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood where rental properties are very hard to find. It’s a quick walk to the train station, and you pass buy a range of mom-and-pop restaurants: Japanese, Halal, Italian. The house is spacious and well laid out with the bedrooms separated from the common rooms, keeping the noise down. We would for sure stay here again!

Quiet location, things to consider
Overall we enjoyed our stay. Kevin is a great host and really cares about his guests. The house, as indicated, is a bit outside the attractions. About 30 minutes to Shibuya via train, and about an hour from Shinjo. The house is a bit older and there is some maintenance needed. The bathroom/shower and toilet are separate rooms. Unfortunately the toilet room was a bit smelly. The stairs to get to the lower bedroom are very narrow and steep. I fell once while wearing socks, and it seems like older people and small children would need to be very careful. You should also know that navigating the train stations in Tokyo can be confusing and difficult for foreigners, so take that into account when considering this location. Overall we were happy and the host was great.

Very clean and spacious place in a nice quiet neighborhood
We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is very clean and has a lot of room. The neighborhood is so quiet, yet it is only a short walk to convenience stores, a grocery store, many restaurants, and the train station. The host is great, they provided plenty of helpful information for first-time visitors to Japan. I would highly recommend staying here if you want a place in a quiet neighborhood that is an easy train ride into the heart of Tokyo.

A pleasant home in a quiet neighborhood
Kevin was very communicative and also very helpful in providing suggestions on places to visit or eat. His video that he sent to us just before we arrived showed us exactly how to arrive at the home. It is in a very convenient location with supermarkets, convenience stores and the train station within minutes of the home. Ikebukuro was just a few minutes away by train and from there we used other trains or the subway to get to other parts of Tokyo easily. We highly suggest you stay there if you want to be away from the busyness noisy city.

An oasis way from the crowds
A great place away from the crowds yet a short train ride to all the spots. The way it's laid out w/separate rooms and floors dampens noise and made it possible for my husband to conduct zoom meetings in the middle of the night without disturbing the family at all. Loved the quiet residential neighborhood and enjoyed readymade meals from the local market and picking up snacks and waters at 7-11 or Family Mart which are all within easy walking distance. We also opted to use the laudromat since the weather was drizzly plus we had coins we needed to unload. A slight downside about this property is the toilet room with little to no counter space and the shower room is wet and kind of moldy but Japanese bathrooms are just different in this way. For us it was fine because of all the benefits. We adapted by using the kitchen sink and counters as another area for toothbrushing but we did not do any cooking. The tatami room was wonderful and makes the main living room feel more spacious even if only one person is sitting on the floor to round out the conversation area of sofa and dining table. Definitely respect the space by the no food or drink rule. I used it to meditate and stretch and it's great for a nap. This was our first-time using VRBO and we LOVED it!

It was a lot larger than we thought and was a great place for us to come back to after wandering the rest of Japan. Mind the stairs leading to the basement/first floor area since they can hurt if you slip. It was very authentic and nice!

Wonderful house, fantastic area
Really enjoyed our stay. Tons of room for 4 people. House was very clean with lots of amenities supplied. Host's communication was excellent. Only drawback was the sink in the bathroom has no hot water so if you need to shave you have to boil a kettle and fill the sink. The neighbourhood is absolutely wonderful. Lots of great bars, izakayas and restaurants. 24 hour konbinis all around. Very short walk to the station which takes you to Ikebukuro in a matter of minutes. The house provided us with a very quiet and relaxing sanctuary after enjoying all the excitement that Tokyo has to offer.

Fantastic stay in Tokyo
What an amazing trip! We took our family to Tokyo for Thanksgiving week and had a great stay. Our host Kevin sent us very detailed instructions including a YouTube video on how to get to the property. It’s only a 10 min walk from a subway station so it was very accessible to all of Tokyo. The neighborhood itself feels very suburban and family oriented. Theres a grocery store only a block away and lots of good restaurants and bars in between the train station and the house. It was perfect for our needs. It had a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, a good bathroom and hot shower. Everything we needed was there. It was clean and comfortable and Kevin was very responsive to our questions. He was a great host. I can’t recommend high enough.

Excellent stay in an interesting neighbourhood with a community feel.
Kevin is a very helpful and informative host, providing tips about places to visit and eat. We had a very pleasant stay and Higashi Nagasaki is vibrant and a great place to explore. It is also close to other places of interest. Two suggestions to make it better - the Japanese room is very nice but not very useful for westerners. It has a small table to sit at in the traditional way but food cannot be eaten there. The kitchen, dining table, couch and TV are crowded into another room. We would also have liked a greater range of linen. Only doonas were provided. Otherwise, we would heartily recommend this accommodation.

Great House and Neighborhood
My first Vrbo and especially in a foreign country to me. The owner made it so easy and was very communicative. We stayed for 1 week. The house was perfect for our family, but we were also all adults. The house was snug for us, but plenty of room for all of us to have our own space/bedrooms. Five minute walk to the train, 2 minute walk to the 7-11. Great way to experience Japan without hotels. Would definitely recommend to any group who want to visit Japan and experience it as a native of Tokyo. Kevin was GREAT and checked in on us. GREAT experience.

Tokyo Toshima stay
The location was not too far from the station and within walking distance are many shops and small restaurants. It is a short ride to Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ikebukuro. All the amenities are included and we ran out of nothing. Kevin had been a super host and very informative and communicative about the city and home. In Japan, we found many stairways are narrow and steep in comparison to North America, they are easy to go down but should still be careful. I would recommend the stay!

We were 2 couples staying at Kevin’s. It was a great location, close to a vibrant coffee shop, a pasta restaurant and a Mediterranean restaurant that serves falafel. A pharmacy, 7 Eleven and other stores were nearby. It was a five minute walk to the train station, which we rode daily. I definitely recommend this property.

Quiet friendly neighborhood
This is a nice little 2 story house, in a quiet neighborhood. 5 minute walk to convienance store, coffee shop, restaurants and train station. The down stair steps are very steep and narrow. Worked well for me (50) and son (29), we made sure dad (81) used the main level bedroom. Nice little kitchen and has most thing needed for making meal. We were on the go so much, we didn't use anything except the microwave to warm items up. It is a nice place to stay and wind down after all the hustle and bustle of being in the packed tourist areas during the day. I'd stand on balcony in the morning and play on my phone. Many locals would wave and smile. Found a small coffee shop that was open air and some crates for seats outside. Staff enjoyed speaking English and would approach and just ask questions. They'd introduce other customers they knew who spoke English too. They play vinyl music most of the time. Kevin the owner was really great to communicate with. He takes and interest in your trip and provided multiple ideas and recommendations of thing to do nearby and all over Tokyo. Leading up to the trip and during if you have questions. He was quick to reply even with a huge time zone difference before the trip.

The House was large and comfortable, Kevin, Host, was attentive, friendly, supportive, knowledgeable, respectful, and quick to communicate. We wanted to contribute to the house and future guests because the place is special. Many local trains and grocery stores. Easy to get to anywhere in Tokyo and beyond from there.

Kevin's home was the beginning of a perfect trip to Japan. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood where there are numerous small restaurants and shops. The house is close to the Higashi-Nagasaki train station which is a perfect five minute walk. We ate several times at the local restaurants and had fabulous meals every time. There are many stores and local produce markets close to the house. The house itself is large and the beds were comfortable. We loved the fact that you could close off each room for privacy. The washing machine was great to have and easy to use. The kitchen was well stocked and we were provided plenty of supplies for our three week stay. We will rent again when in Japan!

Great location, really helpful owner
This was the first property we stayed at on our trip to Japan. The location is perfect 2 stops out from major attractions and central Tokyo. There some great local restaurants and coffee shops It is very quiet neighborhood which is great to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The only downsides were that the building is let out to others and the although they were not noisy we did hear every footstep above and voices. However this doesn't distract from a great owner and location.

Comfortable base in a lovely neighbourhood
This property was a comfortable base for my family to explore Tokyo for a few days. Kevin is an excellent host and provided lots of useful information ahead of our arrival. A surprising highlight was exploring the local neighbourhood where we had some wonderful experiences at a local sushi restaurant, a funky bar, and an awesome little cafe for breakfast. These experiences are so much richer than staying at a sterile boring hotel! My only minor complaint is the height of the doorways was very low (not uncommon in Japan) and with my height (well over 6’) inevitably I ended up cracking my head more than a few times! However, that didn’t detract from what was a very comfortable stay. Thank you Kevin!

Easy communication
Higashi Nagasaki station is about an 8 min walk from home and from there it is 3 stops to the Ikebukuro station (main station). About 15 min on train. Easy to travel to Shinjuku and Shibuya. Takes about 30/45 minutes once you get used the train system. A lot of choices near by for food and groceries. In. The downstairs room there is a full bed and two twins. Upstairs bedroom there is a full bed. In the living space that can be closed off and becomes a room there is a full size mattress to be laid on the ground. Kevin is very understanding and responsive.

We loved our stay at Kevin's place. It's in a delightful quiet, leafy neighbourhood, just a 6-7 minute walk to the station. There are a few restaurants and shops around, everything you need. Ikebukuro is incredible, especially if you love shopping! It's only 2 stops from Kevin's local station and from there you can access the rest of Tokyo easily. Kevin was very communicative and helpful, always easy to reach. This is a lovely base from which to explore Tokyo, we highly recommend it.
