What our guests think
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this apartment in Harajuku. The apartment was perfect for us as a couple. It is small and modern and has everything we needed. Also, the location is great. The closest station is about a 10-minute walk, but it is located close to several different stations with various subway and JR lines. It is also walking distance to the popular Harajuku and Shibuya areas, and only a short train ride to Shinjuku. It was perfect for us to stay in an apartment instead of a hotel, so we could feel like we actually lived in Tokyo. Communication with Markus was always quick and precise and very friendly. We would highly recommend staying in this great apartment!

"We spent a week in Tokyo this summer and stayed at 22 Jingumae which was perfect for us. The apartment is the perfect size for 2 people gave us more freedom than staying in hotel and is in a great area – slightly away from the madness of Harajuku’s main street, with no traffic noise whatsoever, but near enough to everything to not feel too far away. The park, main streets and train station are a 5-10 minute walk away. There’s also a folder of useful information about the area in the flat. I will definitely be recommending both Tokyo and the apartment to friends we had an amazing time and hope to come back again next year!"

The apartment is conveniently located not far from Harajuku station. From there you can get everywhere quickly. It is a quiet location, yet very near to the shopping hot spots of Tokyo. Omotesando and Takeshita dori are nearby.
The apartment is well equipped, modern interior and enough space. Especially the air-condition was well appreciated. We had a great stay would come again and for sure stay at the apartment again. Thanks

Although small by Australian standards, the apartment is very comfortable and well appointed, and right in the middle of a thriving little neighbourhood of narrow winding streets full of interesting restaurants and shops. Harajuku station is only a 10 min walk away, and the local "hachiko" bus, which takes you to Shibuya Station via an interesting route, stops right outside the door. We managed to get to all parts of Tokyo on the JR network using Harajuku or Shibuya as our starting points. I will recommend the apartment to any friends who are planning to visit Tokyo.

This apartment has an ideal location ! Close to the nice shopping spots of Harajuku, close to many restaurants and parks.
In addition, it's a very convenient location if you want to experience the Tokyo nightlife, since it's not expensive to take a taxi from
Shibuya to the apartment. We also loved the Bonobo, the club next door ! But don't worry, the apartment is quiet and you won't be
disturbed by noise from the street.
The apartment itself was very nice. Small but very practical.
Next time we'll come to Tokyo (because there will be a second time, we fell in love with the city), we'll definitely try to book this place
again.

From Norway :-) :Everything was superb here, we have been outside most of the time and had a wonderful time. Had some wonderful late evenings at Costa Rica Bar and also had some very good meals in the neighborhood. The fish- restaurant was very good! The area is a perfect base for a stay. We really hope to be back soon...

"This quiet, cozy and central apartment was the ideal base for us to explore Tokyo. The owner is very nice and provided us with many useful tips. The apartment is fully equipped - We felt really at home. The location was ideal - we could easily explore Harajuku and Shibuya on foot. Also the fascinating Meiji shrine wasn't far. We like the local community stopping right in front of the place for those lazy days. All in all we had a great stay in Tokyo and are very happy to recommend the place."

From France :-): Our 3 week stay in this apartment in Tokyo have been very pleasant. Thanks you for the nice & personal reception & all the information. We were very happy to stay right in the center of town & were looking forward to enjoy the comfortable place, bed and shower every night after long days of sightseeing.
[Y&J D, France, 12/2010]
The apartment made for an extremely enjoyable stay for us in Tokyo. It is only a few minutes walk away from the bustling Harajuku shopping district, yet lies on a relaxing street near lots of great local restaurants, coffee shops and bars. It is near both the subway and JR Stations making it easy to get anywhere you want to go in Tokyo. The room itself has everything we needed: wi-fi internet, an extremely comfortable fold out bed, a fancy Japanese style toilet and nice little extras such as the fully stocked kitchen. Overall, I found it to be a much better experience then staying in a hotel, where you can both feel like a local and feel at home in one of the most exciting areas of the city.

The Tokyo apartment was a great location...perfect for those who want to take the subway and JR to various areas within Tokyo. Also, there are plenty of local bars, restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. I felt like I could have stayed much longer because it was so comfortable and clean.

Having a fully equip apartment for our 7 nights stay in Tokyo was so much better than staying in a hotel. The apartment is located within walking distance to Harajuku with a local bus stopping right in front of the building to Shibuya and other nearby areas. The apartment is well equip both in the kitchen and in the bathroom, especially having a washing machine / dryer was really helpful. The bed was comfortable and we did not hear any noise at night. There's plenty of cafes, restaurants and convenience stores nearby, so mid-night snack or beer is definitely not a problem! The owner was very helpful and we would definitely stay at your place again if visiting in Tokyo.

We had an amazing time and wanted to thank you for the fantastic apartment and all the extra assistance you provided (including google
maps and advice). What a fantastic location and a perfect apartment set-up for our 2 week stay.
I will def stay in touch and will certainly recommend your apartment to friends who are headed your way. Thanks again for the excellent
apartment and I'll stay in touch!

I have just had a really enjoyable short break in Tokyo. One thing that made my stay so pleasurable was the apartment that I rented from Markus. It is immaculate, comfortable, well appointed, well furnished, well equipped. Coming home at the end of a day to a cosy apartment instead of an impersonal hotel room was a real plus. The area roundabout is quiet – restful nights! – but not far from the trendy area of Harajuku and only two stations away from the more raucous pleasures of Shinjuku. Transport is very convenient and Markus provides lots of helpful information. The flat is a real find! And thanks for the warm welcome, Markus!

We loved the apartment. The apartment is situated within less than 1 kilometer of two wonderful parks, two different flea markets, the most important Shinto shrine in Tokyo and 7 different train stations, all on different lines, thus allowing us to reach almost anywhere in Tokyo without needing to change trains. Outside the door of the building is the local bus stop, which for 100 yen, gets you to all of the nearby train stations and sights, which we used when we were feeling lazy. The area is the center of the Tokyo fashion industry making it very upmarket and also convenient to both Shibuya and Shinjuku. The flat itself is fully fitted out down to the last detail, allowing us to easily "live" in Tokyo for the entire month that we were there. Refunding of our deposit was done within 2 days of our leaving and there were no hidden charges or extras. We highly recommend the apartment and would be happy to correspond with anyone who has any questions.

This year we decided to rent an apartment instead of a hotel room. The apartment was everything we hoped it would be. It's perfectly situated close to Harajuku station and in a very nice and inviting neighbourhood with little shops and all-night convenient stores within walking distance and a great izakaya and other restaurants / bars just around the corner. A little community bus stops in front of the door that takes you to Harajuku (10 mins) or Shibuya station (20 mins) for only 100 yen. All the facilities are there in the apartment including a bathroom with bath, a kitchen (although we didn't really use it with all the restaurants in the neighbourhood) and a balcony. A great apartment in the heart of Tokyo for one or two people and definitely our place of choice next time we visit Tokyo.
[NN, Amsterdam, 08/2009]
After an almost 3 weeks stay at the apartment we were very happy and like to recommend the place without hesitation. We especially liked the central location and the comfortable location in terms of public transportation. the small community bus right in front of the place serves the major stations nearby and is cheap. The small shops, cafes and restaurants nearby made our life very easy. Despite being asmall apartment (according to German standards), it is fully equipped and very very clean. To have free WIFI helped us to stay in touch with the world. We will be back for sure.
[TG, Berlin, Germany 08/2009]
Thanks for all the help with booking such a perfect apartment on a short notice (12 hours before our flight!) you were friendly and very helpful and great with the fast communication/replies. Our stay in Tokyo was great and a good place to sleep played a big part in that! Thanks again for everything!
[LC, Alberta, Canada 06/2009]
We really enjoyed our comfortable stay there. Thank you for the information on the area and the manual was quite informative. We loved
Asian kitchen lunch you recommended. The location was very nice. The place was really calm and quiet for central Tokyo. It was great that there were two large parks at
walkable distance and having access to three different stations/lines made our movements lots more efficient. We liked the interior and furniture of the flat. The bed was really comfortable!!
If we visit Toky next time, we will most definitely stay at your place.
Thank you very much!!!

Many thanks for the great week in Tokyo. We enjoyed our stay at the apartment very much and thanks to your maps and information we managed to get around very easily. The location is great. We felt right at home after a few days already. We could walk to Shibuya and Harajuku, We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, getting to know the store owners etc.
The apartment was very comfortable.

My holiday at Harajuku in March 2009 was excellent. What a difference it makes to stay in an apartment compared to a hotel: you really feel like you are living among Japanese people and you're not a tourist anymore. The apartment was clean, quiet and had everything I needed for a pleasant 10-days vacation.
I am certain I will book it again for my next trip and can recommend it to anyone looking for a great temporary place in Tokyo.
[JA, Heidelberg, Germany, 03/2009]
Thank you for having us! We missed nothing in terms of equipment or services in the apartment. Sleeping was fine and we had
no complaints from our daughter on the tempur mattress. The location was very good and gave us an opportunity to spend time in an area that we might have missed otherwise. The restaurant you recommended around the corner was great - we went there twice. Your Google Map was very useful.
All in all Tokyo was a great experience!
[HJ, Oslo, Norway]
My month long stay was very comfortable and pleasant. A convenient bus stops right in front of the apartment and train stations are an easy 10 minute walk away.
The community bus also connects easily to the major stations (Sendagaya, Omotesando, Shibuya, Harajuku and Yoyogi).Shops and restaurants are all within walking distance. Major shopping districts like Harajuku or Omotesando are very close. The apartment is well equipped and the kitchen, wash/dry make this a convenient place to stay.
I would recommend the apartment for tourists or business visits to Tokyo.
[PK, Weinheim, Germany]
Excellent location, quiet for a big city and yet only a short walk away from the buzzing heart of Harajuku. Public transport connection is extremely convenient. A local bus stops right in front of the building and takes you directly to the busy shopping areas in Shibuya. In the other direction, the bus stops at a subway line, with which you can conveniently reach many of the popular tourist sights. The circular Yamanote line is also only a short walk away. The apartment is spacious and has everything one needs for a very comfortable stay in Tokyo. Furthermore, I am a light sleeper, but during the entire time I stayed at the apartment I heard no noise from the street outside, which was extremely relaxing.
Without hesitation I can highly recommend this place to anyone looking to explore one of the most exciting cities of the world."
