Tokyo Apartment Rental: Newly Renovated Stylish Apartment In Tokyo! Great place to stay Great place to stay Guest Cynthia S. Date of stay 01/16/14 Review Submitted 03/02/14 We stayed in these apartments for 4 nights with our 6 month old daughter during our first overseas vacation.

We didn't cook much, we just had some snacks, but we would have if we had stayed there longer since the kitchen was well equipped. The staff were great, especially since I did not arrange a key pick up and we just went straight to the apartment after a long flight from Canada. They rushed over to meet us and were very understanding about the mishap.
