Monthly Rentals in Kodaira

I stayed here for a month while working in Tokyo — I only needed to be most central a few days a week, so was happy to be based in a smaller, more local neighbourhood for the majority of my time. There's everything I needed locally, & Tachikawa was nearby for more hardcore shopping. The nearest train stations are quite a walk away, so I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to commute far or want to be elsewhere most days. The flat itself is very well kept & furnished with nice gadgets to make daily life comfortable (e.g. electric blanket .. lifesaver). The host was kind, responsive & helpful — I knew that if I needed anything, she would help. I felt looked after & also had privacy. The internet worked well, the bathroom great. There was everything I needed to cook most meals in the kitchen. Supermarkets 10-15 mins walk away. Gym & library 15-20 mins away. I hope to return to Kunitachi next time I'm working in the city.

The location is excellent. Train station is a 5mins walk connecting to downtown, 2 supermarkets, restaurants, convenient stores nearby. The host is very attentive & responsive. When I checked in, the building was under painting work. I was unable to use the washing machine.The host brought me a new set of towels immediately. They are doing a good job in keeping everything in clean & good condition. The kitchenware & cookingware are in good shape. Bedsheets & towels are clean. TV system has a good variety. The host has spent time & effort to make this place great & your stay comfortable. During my stay, I couldn’t receive a mail. The host contacted the post office & found out the mail was returned as the receiver’s name does not match the registered one in the mailbox. I am delighted because nowadays even a branded hotel like Hyatt will not offer & is unwilling to offer such effort to provide service to the guest. Will I return to this place again? It is a Big Yes.

The pricing is roughly the same as a local business hotel, but a bit more spacious so that was nice. Basically a small one room Japanese apartment, you sit on the floor. If you're a westerner and not used to sitting on the floor it would be uncomfortable. There was a small desk with a small folding chair -- but nothing you would want to sit on for any length of time. I was in Tokyo for a few days on business with a car, and there is a lot of cheap parking nearby which was nice. Good location with convenience stores and restaurants. Everything was clean and worked well. No problems.

A nice stay in a residential neighbourhood and a good base to explore the surrounding areas along the Chuo JR line. Ryo was a great host, very responsive and easy to communicate. The extra treats are a nice surprise :)
