Reviews
Quiet and Convenient
We loved our stay in Honmachi Cottage! The street is quiet and the apartment is very conveniently located, with a great food supermarket just minutes away on foot. Subway and bus are close by, and one can also walk to Shinjuku Chuo Park. The apartment gets lots of sunlight and the kitchen is quite spacious. Tracey and Ash are super kind and helpful, with prompt attention to all of our needs.
We loved hosting you! Thanks for being awesome guests. See you on your next stay.
Felt right at home
We just spent 7 nights as a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) and had a great time experiencing Tokyo! The Cottage was easy to find, had everything we needed including great a fully stocked kitchen and AC units which is a must in the summer heat. We were able to do a load of laundry and it was nice to have the option to eat at home for breakfast. It was fun being in a neighborhood as an escape from the busyness of the main areas but still with less than a 10 minute walk to the nearest train station and only a few minutes to Family Mart and coffee shops. Ashley and Tracey were so friendly, were very easy to communicate with and checked in with us during our stay. We used the bed, the futon couch and the additional mattress for sleeping. We travel light with carry on luggage only, so the space worked for us.
We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for this awesome review. Please come back anytime.
Great cottage
We stayed recently and had a great time. Great communication from the hosts and we really enjoyed our time there. The cottage had everything we needed. Travelling with a young child, it felt great to be able to stretch out and have extra space to ourselves after our daughter went to bed upstairs. We'll be checking out other spaces from Tracey and Ash in the future whenever we return next to Tokyo!
Cute cottage for family stay
We loved our time at the cottage! The location was close to the train with good food options nearby. The cottage was packed with amenities that helped us cook at home and wash our clothes. We loved having two separate spaces for our kids as well!
Mrs
Great property! In a quiet area, yet close to all the action and fun of Shinjuku's and Shibuya's entertainment districts. Beautiful park nearby with playground. The house is clean, cozy and packed with all the amenities my family and I need. Best of all, service was world class. Tracey and Ash are wonderful people who are knowledgeable about the area, super helpful and gracious anytime I needed anything. Thanks, TFS! We are fans.
Loved our stay in the Cottage!!
Hosted in a fantastic spot, just a few minutes walk from the train and with a range of restaurants and shops nearby, we were made to feel very welcome and given a great introduction to the local area. Thanks to the hosts for being so great at staying in touch.
Gem of Tokyo
This place is quite a gem. We are so glad we found it. The place turned out to be much better than the pictures suggested. It was sparkling clean, had a comfortable bed, quite spacious, and equipped with everything that you will need for a wonderful stay. Nestled in a quiet and residential neighbourhood, but also close to all the action. Very easy to commute using the subway (station is just few minutes away). The host is extremely friendly. We were emailed detailed instructions beforehand and we always got immediate responses to our queries. We were welcomed at the subway station and shown around the area and house, and were also given great recommendations for restaurants and things and do. It's always adds a great touch to be personally welcomed to a new place! Would love to stay here again if we come back to Tokyo!
Excellent location for your stay in Tokyo
The house is great and jam-packed with everything you need. Check-in was very easy with constant communication from the host when arranging where to meet their assistant to provide access. The house is in a great location - just a 30min walk or quick subway to Shinjuku station and close to lots of convenience stores etc. Would happily stay again, thank you!
Best stay in Tokyo
The place looks pretty much like on the pictures. For Tokyo this place is incredibly big!! I really appreciated having the chance to stay here. The area is very quiet and residential which is surprising taking into account how close to the city centre it is. So you can sleep peacefully at night. The bed is also nice and comfortable. The house is bright and there is a lot of natural sunlight flooding in. The house is fully equipped and has everything you need, several supermarkets are close by to get food and other supplies. The place is well connected and there are bus stops as well as a tube station. It was also very nice to be welcomed and introduced to the house, so you could ask questions and have everything shown to you! I loved my stay there and felt very at home. It is a wonderful house to spend your time at. From all the places I have stayed at in Tokyo, I think this was the best to stay at especially when you spend a while in Tokyo.
Cozy!
clean and cozy. property was exactly as described. close to supermarket and subway stop. limited restaurants in nearby area.
