Great location to base yourself in Tokyo and explore
Pros: We are a family of 5, we had 3 teenagers with us and the bedding was spacious enough for us. We knew we were going to be out all day, and coming back to sleep only so did not mind the size of the accommodation. The best thing about the property is the location, it was only a few stops to Shinjuku and Harajuku (which allowed us to walk to Shibuya). Yoyogi Uehara station has a few 24hour eateries, which was good during our early starts and late ends to our day exploring Tokyo. We also were surprised by the amount of locals restaurants and cafes we had access to. The yakitori place across the road is so good, as well is the Michelin star ramen and katsu place on the same street.
Cons: The washer and dryer is mouldy, my husband and I made a big attempt to clean it but in the end it was easier to just use the local coin laundry (10minutes walk).

Really great location and very modern, stylish apartment.
Pros: The location was fantastic. Lovely neighbourhood, very close to Yoyogi Uehara station. Absolutely loved the Yoyogi park. The apartment is very stylish and well designed. Beds were very comfortable.
Cons: The bathroom was very musty, it seems to have a damp problem and not having a bathtub in Japan was very strange. The sleeping areas get a little airless due to bunk bed design but very comfortable.

We loved Yoyogi-Uehara. Cute studio in a lovely area.
Pros: We loved the neighbourhood and proximity to transport stations and shops. We all rated the bedding as having the best doonas/duvets ever.
Cons: We would have preferred to know the Metro train line ran overhead as on the first night there were construction noises till late.

Wonderful stay at well-designed home in excellent location. Totally recommend.
Pros: What a beautifully designed space, with excellent facilities. We loved the look and feel of being there. Bathroom was so good (design wow!), with enough space for many people's toiletries and good lighting for doing make-up etc. The space was bright and airy, with some fun features - the record player was an extra added bonus. We liked the thoughtful aspect of having umbrellas for us to use, and the entrance with our own beautiful garden. While the house was on the main street and beside a walk way, it was so quiet and private. Excellent, helpful and fast communication at all times. Location was super wonderful - we so loved being in a little suburb that felt Parisian-Japanese, and so close to public transport. Make sure you try the Pita cafe down the road La Pita de Maison Cinquantecinq. We're a family of 5 and the space was a little tight (we're messy), but space accommodates 3-4 people well.
Cons: Would have been good to have more storage. There were a few hooks in the bathroom, but not enough for everyone's towels or to dry them. And nowhere to hang our clothes or put our suitcases. A simple hanging rack with coat hangers and a shelf to put our suitcases would have been an excellent addition. Taking away the large wardrobe (that was filled with 'other things') that felt out of place in the room would have been good. Also, the washing machine didn't have a drying feature which was annoying.
