amazing house ,very intersting staying. the whole floor is for the guest ,quite a space .and thanks to Gee for searching the information about the flea market:)
shuhao2016-04-17T00:00:00ZGee was an awesome host. He took me out to get some local dinner and showed me around the grocery store. His English is perfect and is a very valuable resource if you have any questions. Bed was comfortable and the place was clean.
Peter2016-09-13T00:00:00ZUrban Oasis is one of a kind. If you don't want to be crammed into the typical shoebox size hotel room in Tokyo and want to have the luxury of three massive balconies and very decently sized living, this is the go to place. Gee has been staying in the US for a decade and speaks perfect English. He has offered very in-depth insights into the rather hazy and distant Japanese culture in the eyes of non-Japanese speakers like us. He is also very accommodating to some of our requests. Staying in this place sort of made our Tokyo trip unique and we will have no doubt to book when we came back again!
Chan2016-06-16T00:00:00ZGee was great. the room was really clean and tidy, just exactly the same like the pictures. If you are looking for different experience,this place worth to try.
Mochamad2015-08-04T00:00:00ZHere was the best place to stay and spend my special day. And I was allowed to cook at comfortable kitchen. The room and balcony were comfy as pictures show. Host was kind and he doesn't meddle with my stay at all so I felt free to stay there.
Morita2015-12-27T00:00:00ZA really nice house with a cool vibe! Love the whole concrete-wood-glass feeling. Owner takes pride in the little details and adds the extra touches just to make the place a little more beautiful, especially the bathroom. I love the bathroom. The glass ceiling is a gorgeous. The room is clean and neat. The bed is firm as it's pretty new (oct2015). Sheets were clean. There's cable TV in the room. The neighborhood is a nice quiet Japanese suburban one away from the bustling city. It's a short 5-7mins stroll to the train station. There's a huge supermarket that opens till 1am on the way. Great for groceries or a snack on the way back. From the train station it is a 5min ride to Shinjuku. You'll have to change train from there to Harajuku and Shibuya, which is another 5mins ride. All in all, still very convenient. All in all, my wife and me enjoyed staying there. It really felt homely. Gee is a really nice guy too. We'd go back again if we were in Tokyo.
Jen2015-10-17T00:00:00ZGreat accommodation, location and host. We will definitely be back next time we are in Tokyo.
Paul2015-12-24T00:00:00Zit was truly unique experience of Tokyo as the area is so quiet and non touristic at all, that almost all the restaurants has no english menu, but still it's close to everything. and the room has the rooftop and when we moved on we just understood how this property was big in japanese measurements. try a bath with candles (it's enough space for 2, we double checked) - amazing ending of tokyo day.

Ausgezeichnet, отлично! Well recommended place. Detailed route how to find the place. Pocket WiFi was great tool to have. You can walk to Shinjuku. Convenient location, the traditional floor panels makes the flat smell natural. Did not see or hear any neighbors while being there ten days, very quiet. Rubbish recycling is big in Japan which I was not aware of. Supermarket on the way home from the station.
Viktor2016-04-21T00:00:00ZTakuya's place is just superb where there's a street of food, convenience store, 24 hours food chain (yoshinoya) and also 3 different train lines (Nearest being the JR and another subway). Most importantly, all these are within short (5-10 mins) walking distance. Hence, if there huge luggage bags, there's no need to worry about walking too far from station. Pretty much a quiet area with enough facilities around. For light travellers, the washing machine is of good help. Pocket Wifi battery could lasting provided you do not put it on all the time. Space is pretty commonly small I suppose for the standard in Japan especially Tokyo area. However, the space is good enough for 2 person. Thank you Takuya for answering all my needs and questions before and during the stay. Wishing you a great day ahead. Arigato Gozaimasu.
Chong You2016-05-29T00:00:00ZFor our first time in Japan, we arrived in Takuya's room in Tokyo. The room is very nice and provides anything you might need for your first stay. Takuya is very friendly and available to answer any question :-) explanations to get to the room were very clear. I would just add a little explanation on the use of hot water. Otherwise, very near from Shinjuku, well situated room!
Bako2016-07-04T00:00:00ZThe apartment is easy to access! We had a great time in Tokyo. It was just as much as we needed because we weren't in the room much I'd recommend to someone who's looking for am affordable, basic, acccessible apartment
Angela2016-04-09T00:00:00Z東中野駅から思っより近く、周りにもコンビニ、マックなどもあり 非常に便利なところでした。また部屋も必要なものはすべてあり、静かで過ごしやすかったです。都心からは少し離れますが、長期の滞在には非常によ場所だと思います。次回も利用させていただくつもりです。ありがとうございました。
kuniaki2016-05-16T00:00:00Zアクセスも良く、色んな所に移動がしやすく、周辺環境も整っていました。 お部屋もとてもきれいで、ビジネスホテルに泊まるよりも快適でした。ありがとうございました!
Ayumi2016-06-27T00:00:00ZTakuya es un excelente anfitrion !!! Hizo todo lo posible por hacernos llegar y lo hicimos tranquilamente y sin problema. Ha sido un lugar realmente increible, con una seguridad formidable y un ambiente calido. Lo recomendamos 100%.
Cesar Andres2016-09-26T00:00:00ZThe listing was so conveniently located, and Takuya was friendly and prompt in responses to my AirBnB messages! I would really recommend this listing as a good way to access the major spots of Tokyo (Shinjuku, and the Yamanote Line, were only a few train stops away). It perfectly matched the description online. During my stay, I hit a lot of the major Tokyo tourist spots, and it was really nice to come back to a quiet and relaxing neighborhood at the end of the night.

Jenny&Sam2016-11-25T00:00:00ZThis place is awesome! Heated toilet seats, warm heater and washing machine helped a lot. The location is 10 minutes easy walk from JRstation and 10 mins train to shinjuku. I highly recommend this place if you have a JR pass.
Hans2017-03-01T00:00:00Zthis rooms checkout time a bit early(9am),must take note
fook yang2017-01-28T00:00:00ZThe place is very clean and convenient. It also quite spacious for four family members. I like the separation of bedrooms and living area. The toilet with fancy bidets and keep warm bathtub are very convenient. And in unit washing machine was useful for long term stay. Also full kitchen with a refrigerator is big help for left over foods. One addtion we wished was a microwave. The location is a bit far from train station (~12 min walk) but we enjoyed the old temple (koenji) and a market Street on the way, which make us feel very safe even way back home quite late. Try Japanese ramen on Ramen Dai on that way. It is awesome. The apt complex located between a motorcycle shop and a fire department. My kids like watching motorcycles and fire engines. Japanese fire engines are tiny and very cute.^^ And importantly the pocket WiFi is very very useful. We relied on that every second during our Tokyo trip. Overall we really enjoyed the stay and definitely stay again for our next Tokyo visit. Thanks, Sam.

MIYEON2015-12-20T00:00:00ZI was only in Tokyo for a long weekend and staying at Steve's place was very easy and convenient. I know my way around the city pretty well, but for those who don't, the apartment is very easy to find; it's 2-3 city blocks south of Higashi-Nakano Station, served by two of the most useful trains (JR Sobu & Toei Oedo). The self-check-in makes it convenient for those with fluctuating arrival times (ie. everyone), which is always appreciated. The apartment itself is a few steps above the other old/cheap ones you'll find, and the inclusion of a TV is great. The only negative for me was the futon, which is quite thin, but that is a very common thing in Japan. Since I was alone though, I was able to fold it in half for extra cushioning. All in all, this apartment is a great choice for the solo traveler (or couple) looking for a nice, centrally-located place to stay while in Tokyo.
Rob2016-12-06T00:00:00ZThis place was great! Easy access to the Higashi-Nakano station, convenience stores, laundry, etc. The neighborhood is also very lovely and quiet, and it was nice to return to it every night after spending the day in the hustle and bustle of the more crowded Tokyo districts. The check in process was very easy thanks to Steve's very thorough directions, and Steve was very active in communicating with us. Thanks for a great experience!
Angela2016-05-03T00:00:00Z房东人特别好!真的非常推荐各位住这里!!首先 房东非常细心 钥匙在哪里 门怎么开 出地铁怎么走 一件件事情都交代得特别仔细!!跟着房东的指示完全不会走错!!其次 房子很干净 虽然有点小但是特别温馨!!洗澡间暖暖的洗得很舒服!!厕所也很干净!卫生纸 餐巾纸 毛巾 马克杯 碗碟 饮料冲剂 应有尽有!!每样东西都准备得特别齐全 冰箱里还有三瓶啤酒 总之你想要什么都有!!还有 位置也特别好 步行约5分钟就是地铁站 平时我和朋友去新宿玩只要坐两站就到了 很方便 附近还有两个全家和一个7 11 饮料和零食买起来也很方便!!还有最重要的事!!我一起旅行的朋友因为临时有事要早走 把移动wifi带走了 但我在国内又很难租到Wi-Fi 房东就人特别好地答应借给我移动wifi 简直拯救了我这种没有Wi-Fi会死星人 中途出现了一点问题 也非常耐心地和我沟通 寻找解决方案 完全不会不耐烦 对了对了 房东还给我们推荐餐厅 总之 如果两个人来东京玩 我是真的很推荐住这个房子 房东人好 房子干净 位置好 交通便利 这个价格简直超值!!
Lou2016-01-06T00:00:00ZExcellent condition, great sunlight, small but compact, great for one or two person, super clean, convenient to Shinjuku, the host Steve is very responsive and helpful. I will stay here again.
Billy2016-12-10T00:00:00ZSmall and neat but just enough for as.
Gigee2017-01-05T00:00:00ZYou cannot fault Steve for his communication, prior and during our stay he was very responsive to all our queries via text/email. I found the directions with photos he provided really helpful after 24 hours of travelling to Japan! His room is conveniently located close to Higashi-Nakano station, which is just two stops from Shinjuku and a good gateway to most of Tokyo. There's a lovely French bakery at the station, where we brought breakfast each morning and I highly recommend the cinnamon rolls! There's also plenty of convenience stores and local eateries right on your doorstep so no complaints on that front. I also LOVED the heated toilet seat - sad to leave that! Unfortunately, for two people, the room is VERY small and I have to say it's been the worst stay I've had anywhere in terms of sleep because the room is incredibly cold; we stayed in Dec/Jan (unless you can bear sleeping with a noisy a/c heater) and the thin futon mattress is practically pointless. We ended up sleeping with our heads nearest the TV to avoid the breeze coming down the curtains from the main window onto our faces, causing us to wake up shivering in the middle of the night! That aside, the shower was warm and powerful and the basic kitchen was adequate given that we ate out everyday. Would be helpful to have instructions for the a/c as icons are all in Japanese...
Daisy2017-01-04T00:00:00ZApartment was fine... smaller than it looks in the pictures. Was kind of difficult finding the place/getting in because of the complicated entry instructions and the fact that two or three of the apartment complexes on the street all have the same address. Also bit of a weird smell.

Everything was good. The room is clean,new and convenient with amenities like 7-11 and lots of food stalls around. Superb location and is near to metro station. Richard and Jason are friendly, helpful and accommodating. Overall I had a great time staying at the apartment. I recommend it to all of U!
LEI2016-10-08T00:00:00ZReally spacious space for Tokyo in a nice little area close to Shinjuku. Great kitchen supplies too. Nice coffee shop and skewer places just down the road. Bed was broken but I'm sure the guys will be fixing it soon.
Alex2016-10-26T00:00:00Znear 7-11, and near to the train station
Task2016-11-06T00:00:00ZThis was a nice apartment in a calm area where we stayed for a week visiting Tokyo. The host was impeccable, gave us good instructions to the apartment, and provided towels and simple appliances for us to use. It was easy to take the train from Higashi Nakano and get around the city. Recommended!
Beate2017-01-18T00:00:00ZLocation, location, location! it's only about 10 minutes walk to the station and only 2 stations away from Shibuya. We still felt like we are at central Tokyo. The studio was actually bigger than it appears in photos and it was complete with the essential amenities. Very clean and well maintained. however the bed was a bit flimsy and unstable. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend TCA to everyone.
Rey2017-02-09T00:00:00ZWhen we booked the airbnb, the hosts were really responsive to our queries and were super helpful in directions and advise as well. We arrived to the apartment late at night and the instructions given to us on how to get into the apartment were accurate and hassle-free. The apartment was in a great neighbourhood with convenience stores nearby. There's a little quaint cafe down the road as well which was really cute. Many small Japanese restaurants around the area as well. Easy 10 minute walk to the nearest JR train station which was Higashi-Nakano. Super convenient to get to Shibuya and Shinjuku. The apartment was really clean and cosy. The bed frame is very fragile and would advise hosts to change it. Otherwise, it's better off with just putting the mattress on the floor. The apartment block does not have a lift so if you have many/heavy luggages might want to take note. Otherwise, staying here made my vacation in Tokyo complete - it was truly a home away from home. I loved it and I would definitely recommend this place! :)

은진2016-09-26T00:00:00ZNice and clean apartment in a quiet area and within walking distance from the train station. The apartment is well equipped and spacious for 2 of us. There are local restaurants, supermarket, 7-11 and a nice coffee shop near the apartment. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and wouldn't mind staying here again the next time we are back in Tokyo.

Michie was a wonderful host. The apartment was easy to find as it was very close to the station. It is located in a quiet environment which allows us to sleep peacefully at night. The room was super clean and everything was placed in a tidy manner. Having a washer in the apartment was a definite plus especially if staying long term since I was able to save money from using a coin laundry. There were many restaurants and two supermarkets nearby within 1 - 2 minutes walking distance, along with a number of convenience stores around that it was so easy to get our groceries and daily items without any problems. Getting to the airport was very easy since there are two train lines within 2-3 minutes walk - one is a subway and the other a JR line. If you walk further away you'll find one other subway Metro line 5 mins to the North and another subway Metro line about 10 mins to the South. So you could practically visit anywhere in Tokyo from this excellent location. Michie's apartment is definitely a gem in the ocean of Tokyo AirBnBs. I highly recommend it and will surely return to stay here when I come back to Tokyo.
Kayoko2016-07-07T00:00:00ZMichie provides the direction to the apartment very clearly and our arrival was very smooth. The room facilities are very complete, if you really need anything else there are 4 convenient stores around. The location definitely superb as u can hop on JR or Toei line easily within 5 minutes, and it's just 2 stations away from Shinjuku. The portable wifi was great, its full charged battery can last for almost 12 hours, but do aware that the speed will get fairly slow in the subway and some indoor areas. Overall was a great stay!
Vjan2016-11-24T00:00:00ZVery nice trip in Tokyo! The flat was exactly as shown in the page. Very well located (near from almost every interesting spot of the city). There is 3 convenient store next to it. The flat is a little small but ok for two people. The pocket wifi doesn't work fine don't count on it for planning your trip but there is a free wifi at the subway station.
Camille2016-08-23T00:00:00ZThank you so much! The flat is exactly as shown in the photos. Comfortable, clean and in a great location. Michie was very helpful and attentive to every detail. When I come back to Tokyo, I hope I could stay here again!
Scott2016-06-08T00:00:00ZMichie is very kind. I wanted to check in before 3pm, but she cleaned the apartment at around 12pm. Traffic is very convenient, You can take subway or train to everywhere if you want to go. And the surrounding is very peaceful! I was so glad to stay at her apartment!
Celia2016-10-12T00:00:00ZValue for money . Location strategic .

Shinjuku and Shibuya were very near, too. The room was beautiful, too, and there was the explanation of the household appliance in various ways, too and was very comfortable. I want to stay next time!

The place was neat and tidy, with and extra bonus of being on the top floor with a nice view from the balcony. I only spent night here, but wish I could stay longer. I'll be sure to stay here again if I go to Tokyo.
Jimmy2016-04-03T00:00:00ZGood, quiet location with easy access to yamanotesen.
Clifford2016-03-23T00:00:00ZTomoe is doing a really good job with this accommodation. Amazing! I stayed there for about 2 weeks and i felt homely. Cozy, neatly and a quiet neighborhood, perfectly for relaxing after you are discovering that huge Metropolis. Just a few minutes and you are able to reach Shinjuku via Sobu Line; also Tokyo Metro is right near this appartment. Tomoe did everything to respond upcoming questions and it was possible to get an answer from her fast. She stands up for you to make it comfortable for ya. Thx again and 2 thumps up! またね
Eik2016-04-18T00:00:00ZThe apartment is not big, but quite nice. The laundry machine is definitely a plus. There are some facilities which you can you to cook small meals. The balcony. The elevator, but you can use also a stairs, which is good if you want to stay fit. There is a convenience store nearby. The store has a Japan Post ATM inside. Not all the ATM serve foreign cards, but I think only at JP ATM you can withdraw your money in 1000 yen notes. Also, there are a few of small nice restaurants. I suppose it is a good place for a base to visit Tokyo, especially easter part: Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Shibuya.
Wojciech 2016-01-23T00:00:00Z非常舒適的房間,一至兩個人住足夠有餘。 離東中野JR站很近,雖然並不是遊客區,但勝在夠寧靜,加上附近有好幾間深夜食堂,價錢便宜之餘又美味。 房東小姐有問必答,絕對推介給大家這個房間! The room is really comfortable, it is suitable for 1-2 people staying. It is not far away from Higashi-Nakano Station. Though it is not a tourist hotspot, it is very quiet and relax in the neighborhood. There are a few restuarant which have late closing hour, and the food is nice and cheap. Feel free to ask any questions to the host, she will probably proivde good suggestion and answer for you. Stronly recommend this hostel for your stay in Tokyo!

Had a great experience here! The description was as it said 30secs from the station easy to get to. The location is easily accesable via subway or JR Chuo Sobu line (yellow) didn't make it hard to get to at all which I am happy for it is also a 20min walk to Nakano. The room is very close to a combini (24 hr Family Mart) making it great for getting goods. Sophia the host was very helpful and provided support for the smallest of things I asked for via email lol Thank you very much I would definitely stay again!
Negus2016-09-13T00:00:00ZWe had a great time at Sophia's room in Nakano! The location is perfect and is literally right across the street from the train station. Sophia set up the room with everything you would need to have a great stay. We also contacted Sophia when we need her the check something for the room and she was very responsive and contacted us back right away. Sophia also made it very easy to check in and out. We had a wonderful stay in Nakano. Thanks Sophia!!

YANTAO2017-01-14T00:00:00ZLocation! Literally less than a minute from the station, and only 5 minutes from Shinjuku, 15 or so minutes from Shibuya - basically all of Tokyo is close to you from this apartment. Plenty of places to eat and drink if you want to stay local as well. The room itself is small but comfortable - no kitchen but there is a kettle and microwave if you need it. Overall a great place to stay!
Neale2016-08-16T00:00:00ZLogement confortable, spacieux pour la pièce principale (la sdb est petite par contre) et propre. Face à l'entrée de la gare JR (exit west), à l'entrée du métro un poil plus loin, avec un Family Mart au pied de l'immeuble et un espace commerçant tout proche, on ne peut avoir meilleur emplacement ! Le revers de la médaille : le bruit des trains, l'isolation phonique n'est pas le fort ! La quantité de fournitures en tous genres fournie par Sophia est impressionnante ! A un prix correct avec un bon emplacement, cet appartement convient parfaitement pour un séjour plus ou moins long sur Tokyo. Les petites points faibles : - Le wifi ne fonctionne pas super. Mais y a semble t-il une connexion par cable aussi (je n'avais que des tablettes) - L'eau chaude ne fonctionne pas tjrs comme on veut. - La chambre au dessus semble être une salle de danse ou je ne sais quoi, car ça tambourinait jusque 21h30/22h tous les jours ! Le gros point noir : - Les modalités pour l'arrivée, aucun renseignement reçu ! L'appart a beau être juste au pied de la gare, encore fallait-il le trouver, surtout lorsque (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map donne une position toute autre. Quand en plus AIRBNB n'est pas fichu de donner le No de tel en mode local, je ne suis pas Madame Soleil, je peux pas deviner qu'il fallait ajouter un "0" devant le numéro indiqué ! L'arrivée a donc été catastrophique, mais pour le reste, globalement très satisfait de cette première expérience en appartement au Japon.
FREDERIC2016-11-07T00:00:00ZLe logement correspond exactement à l'annonce. De plus il était très propre, avec un lit très confortable, climatisé avec tout le confort nécessaire pour passer un bon séjour. Idéalement situé juste en face d'une station de métro et à proximité d'un magasin d'alimentation dans un quartier calme avec des petits restaurants et diverses commerces. Sophia nous avait laissé un corbeille avec du thé, du café et des petits gateaux. De plus Sophia fût très réactive quand nous avions une demande. Ce fût pour nous un très bon endroit dans lequel nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

A beautiful flat in a great location. It was super clean, quiet and had very responsive and professional hosts. We really felt at home here after travelling for months and staying at airbnbs. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends too.
Abby and James2016-06-24T00:00:00ZWe had a great time in Tokyo! We actually spent quite a bit of time in the apartment because I was sick during this part of our trip. Everything was exactly how it was described, a wonderful place to stay, close to everything! We were able to just pop on the train close by (JR route for international travelers) and see all of Tokyo. All questions and issues were perfectly answered with the instructions and information provided by the host. We didn't have any issues whatsoever and loved this apartment.
Lisa2016-10-01T00:00:00Z지하철 오쿠보역/신오쿠보역과 가까워 도쿄 시내 관광하기에 편리했습니다. 조용한 주택가 골목에 위치해 있고, 대형 마트도 근처에 있어 만족스러웠습니다. 모든 시설이 깨끗하고 사진과 똑같았습니다. 침대도 너무나 편안했고요 :) 단 한 가지 아쉬웠던 점은 (숙박 일수에 상관없이) 게스트에게 수건이 단 1장만 제공된다는 것이었습니다. 세탁기를 사용할 수 있긴 했지만, 이 점은 개선되면 좋을 듯 합니다.
은경2016-10-02T00:00:00ZMasa was a pleasure to communicate with. Him and his team were very responsive and helpful with any questions. The listing is fairly close to the train station and the neighborhood is also lively. The unit was clean and cozy; there are two separate twin size beds and one of them is located upstairs in the loft. I would definitely stay at this location again if I were to visit Tokyo. Thanks again, Masa!
Edward2016-09-17T00:00:00ZJust 8 mins walk from the station. Fantastic hosts that will answer your doubts and have a manual ready in the house with multiple language that covers everything you need to know. Highly recommended
Kelly2017-01-11T00:00:00ZVery nice apartment, we loved the room, so clean! The host was very helpful and replied to all our questions very quickly. Also the position was good, very central and yet in a quiet neighbourhood, just make sure you don't mind walking and the stairs!
Dion2016-06-27T00:00:00ZAgréable séjour dans cet appartement ! Il se situe à 10 minutes à pied de la station de Shin Okubo qui se trouve sur la ligne Yamanote (donc accessible par le Japan Rail Pass). Le voisinage est calme, des restaurants et magasins se trouvent à proximité. L'appartement était impeccable et comprenait toutes les commodités nécessaires à un bon séjour. Je recommande vivement !

Yuka2016-08-23T00:00:00ZA great place if you wish to get around Shinjuku area, but prefer to have a quiet accommodation. A bottle of wine was a nice touch.
Mikako2016-09-04T00:00:00Zi had a great stay at Satoshi s place . it was a really nice little nest to chill at , super clean and so quiet as well . about 6 mn walk from d metro station and 2 stops away from Shinjuku . Also there s a nice little temple just 1 mn away , i loved it . I ve never met Satoshi and i was bit worried about how to find d place , but once i got there it was perfect .
Laurent 2016-08-17T00:00:00ZOk for sleeping one night
Borja2016-11-19T00:00:00ZWhen I arrived, the room hadn't tidy up and it was so dirty, no one to check room after the pervious tenant checked out. Then, the host contacted room agent to clean my room quickly but the memories was quite bad.
Kanas2016-12-01T00:00:00ZThe accommodation is very clean and comfortable..5min walking to the station.Frankly, i love to stay there and will stay there if I have chance to visit Japan next time.
Ratu2016-12-10T00:00:00ZNice and clean property. Good fit for 2 adults with 2 medium luggage. Walk distance to Higashi Nakano station in 8-10 minutes, and 3 minutes to bus stop toward Shibuya.
Akhmad2017-03-02T00:00:00ZThis accommodation is nice and tidy, just as described. It's a short walk to the train station which will get you to just about anywhere else in Toyko. The space is big enough for 2 people with luggage. We are so grateful the pocket wifi was included as that helped us get around. The only issue was finding the accommodation on the day of checking it, lucky Satoshi came to our rescue when we needed it urgently and was able to guide us through the process over the phone. Would recommend this accommodation for anyone wanting to stay in a local, quiet area.

This was our second time staying at Aya's apartment. As before, the apartment was clean and neat, and the check-in process was smooth and easy. Would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Tokyo.
Derniese2015-12-15T00:00:00ZI stayed 5 nights and I never met Aya, but she told me very well how do the check in/out and a lots of information where go to eat, etc.! The room is small, but nice and cleaned. The location is very good because the subway is very close to the station!
andrea2015-09-15T00:00:00ZAya's room was lovely - right next to Higashi-Nakano station and therefore immensely convenient for us during our stay in Tokyo. Like many Tokyo residences it's a little small, however it was perfect for us. We had everything we needed and being able to use this location as a base of operations was a huge asset for my companion and I on our trip.
David2016-02-08T00:00:00ZStaying at Aya's place was a very pleasant experience. Appartment is typically small for Tokyo, but cozy and equiped with all the necessary commodities. It is located just next to a Higashi-Nakano station from which it is very simple to get to Shinjuku or most of the other major places. Communication with Aya was very easy going and she was most helpful with anything we needed. Definetly a reccomended stay.
Amir2016-04-15T00:00:00ZAya's place was great! Everything was brand new and clean. The place looked exactly as it showed on pictures. Essential stuffs were there, such as shampoo, conditioner, hairdryer, hoover, iron, small fridge, cups, plates and pans! Also the location was great! 1min to higashinakano station and 5mins to shinjuku by train! There are many stores and a big supermarket just outside the station! So easy to shop foods and essential stuffs there. Aya was great host! Her response was very quick and courteous. Even my booking was last minutes, she was being very nice! I would love to stay there again if I have a chance :) Thank you, ayasan!
Junko 2015-05-24T00:00:00ZAya's apartment is small but extremely comfortable. It is perfectly located just right in front of the Higashi-Nakano station, 2 train stations away from Shinjuku (Chuo local line (JR lines)) and is nestled in a quiet location but fully equipped with all the amenities one may need. A Family Mart at the building itself and a very affordable and yummy Ramen place right in front. Ginza street is just up the intersection along the main road which houses loads of eating places and Life Department store with a grocery and a place to purchase essentials like shoes, bags, clothes in case you may have forgotten to pack something. The apartment has heating and airconditioning, a TV, a stove which you can use to heat up food you bought downstairs as well as a very handy pocket wifi. Moon Road is also just a few meters away from the apartment which houses a lot of Izakaya places (bars) for those who enjoy drinking. We did not meet personally, but she has set clear instructions in a folder inside the apartment. There are essentials such as shower gels and shampoo, towels so you don't even need to bring that with you. She even provided coffee so we could always brew a nice hot cup of joe. Everything was easy and just the perfect little getaway place....even BETTER than if you had booked an expensive hotel in the city. It cannot get any better than this, and I have stayed in many 4 star hotels before, but I must say I am not hooked with Airbnb. If I ever go back to Tokyo, I will surely book with Aya again. - Mausi and Carlo (Octob(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN))
Maria Luise2015-10-13T00:00:00ZDefinitely will come back again. Nice experience and close to JR and Oedo lines. Thanks Aya.
Ming Lih2015-11-07T00:00:00ZInstructions and rules were provided in a handy notebook, and the pocket Wi-Fi was super useful when out and about in Tokyo. The location is great, being so close to a transit station and having a convenience store literally just outside the front door. The neighborhood seemed safe and clean. The unit itself is cozy, but seems standard for Tokyo --- definitely a nice safe space to return to after a long day out. Would recommend it and would stay again!

Shingeaki is the best host! Te appartment is very good placed, in a nice nigberhood, near subway stations. It was very clean and has everything you need. When We wrote Shigeaki asking for information, was really help full and polite. DEFINETELLY THE BEST PLACE IN TOKIO!!!!! Thank you for everything!
María Florencia2016-12-25T00:00:00Z12/25.26と2泊させていただきました。2人で宿泊したのですが、ベッドも大きくもう一台を使わなくても充分広々と寝ることができました。 そしてWi-Fiも完備されていて、ポケットWi-Fiなので持ち歩くこともでき、通信制限中だったので外でも快適にスマホを使うことができました。また利用したいと思います。
Ayana2017-01-05T00:00:00ZEverything was great. It was a very nice quiet area but only a short trip to the good parts of Tokyo.
Nick2016-11-27T00:00:00ZThis room is pretty central and very near higashi-nakano station, which is two stops away from the very central Shinjuku station on the JR line. It is also very near shops so its pretty convenient. The host, Shigeaki is also very responsive to messages and contacting him was very easy and fuss-free. The room is well furnished, and it would perfectly fit 2 guests. Fitting 3 guests (like on my trip) was very cramped and we had to move the sofa out of the room to accommodate the extra bed. It is, however, cosy and really comfortable. One thing however was that when we arrived, the room was not cleaned and the guests before us had left quite a mess in the room, where there were wet towels on the bed and the carpet and floor was covered in crumbs and dust. Good thing there was a vacuum in the room that allowed us to clean up so it wasn't too bad. Considering previous reviews from other guests, I do believe that this is just an honest mistake on the host's part and that they did not mean to neglect the room, and it was possible that the previous guests had left late, which left them with no time to clean the room. It was overall quite a comfortable stay and was quite satisfactory, although it can be improved. Would still recommend this apartment for its convenience and comfort!
よ2017-01-10T00:00:00ZThe place was difficult to find at first because we got out of the wrong exit. (TIP: Get out of the EAST Exit. Then you will see "Gold Gym", walk towards it (Unison Mall) then go down, turn right towards the bridge across the river, then turn left after the bridge, walk one and a half blocks, and you will see Avignity Building.) The owner responded diligently to our queries and concerns. Overall, the place is nice and in a quiet neighborhood.
Elma2017-02-21T00:00:00ZI really enjoyed my stay at Shigeaki's apartment. She left a wonderful gift, and also provided some snacks. It is a five minute walk to the train or bus going into Shinjuku. It's worth noting that the place is pretty small, but it's at a great price and very clean. Realistically, it can fit two adults, but that might be a bit tight. The included pocket wifi was super convenient.
Chris2016-12-04T00:00:00ZShigeaki's room was so sweet!! It was big enough for two people. It was really close to the subway station and easy to find the apartment. We didn't know how to heat the room but Shigeaki kindly and quickly texted us so we could. There's big family mart near the room so it was so convenient. Traveling Tokyo staying in this room was awesome!!

good! Location, facilities ... all good. Just long heard the train sound, but not strong enough to endure not. What are you than the host's very friendly. I enjoyed more time in Tokyo, thanks.
hyelim2016-03-14T00:00:00ZIt was a great experience to stay at Shin&Sho place. The place is cozy and clean located in peace residential area. For one whom expect much more of cafe / chic area might not be the choice. Location located 2 stops from Shinjuku station just take a few minute. It's considered convenient place surrounding with a fundamental place to stay, convenient store and food shop. Shin&Sho is a nice host, always provide information and check my stay whether it's ok or not. Recommend.
Anna Wachira2016-06-07T00:00:00ZThis was our first Airbnb experience and it was fantastic. Their home is comfortable and a convenient location; only 5 minute walk from the train station. Communication was great, as they responded quickly and were very helpful with any questions. Definitely walk around and explore the neighborhood a bit. We found quite a few nice cafes and restaurants that we really liked. It's a perfect place to be able to see Japan, we had a wonderful time!! We highly recommend staying here. Shin and Sho are great hosts!
Sarah2016-08-13T00:00:00ZVery nice and cosy flat in nice neighborhood. Shin and Sho are very welcoming.
hen2016-10-09T00:00:00ZShin is a great host! When we got to the entrance of Shin's house I was shocked because I didn't know it will be such an amazing place!! A super big television and nice kitchen ;) it's pretty close to the train station so we found it very easily! Thanks for letting us stay :)
Vince2017-02-20T00:00:00ZShin was very welcoming! He greeted us on the first day of arrival and gave us a tour around the apartment. The location of the apartment was super close to the train station, convenience stores and supermarkets which made it very helpful. The amenities at the apartment are new and everything was labeled with detailed instructions. It is a safe and quiet neighborhood and we had no troubles sleeping at night in regards to the trains passing by. Loved everything about this apartment and the hosts are spot on with responses!
Jenny2016-10-26T00:00:00ZGreat experience! Shin and Sho are very detailed with their instructions. The place was very clean, tidy and cosy. Extremely comfortable place to stay! Great location too!
Flora2016-02-10T00:00:00ZCute, clean and modern apartment with a comfortable bed in a quieter neighborhood in Tokyo. Shin and Sho were amazing hosts. Always checking in to make sure we were having a good time and that we didn't need anything. Any requests we had were answered very promptly and they were always willing to help. The neighborhood is a few minutes train ride from Harajuku (the walk from the station is about 8-10min) with plenty of convenience stores and restaurants nearby. There is a train line that runs fairly close to the apartment and the noise from the tracks was a little bit of a downer for us (although they did provide earplugs for light sleepers). Other than that we liked everything about this place. Thanks Shin and Sho, we really appreciated your hospitality!

Mary2016-07-28T00:00:00ZApartment location is very good, travel and life are very convenient. We are three people live, the room is very spacious, in Tokyo.The landlord will communicate with us in a timely manner, and let us stay ahead of time, thank you very much.If there is next time, we are also willing to choose here. 公寓位置非常好,出行和生活都很方便。我们是三个人住的,这房子在东京不算小的,很舒服。房东会及时的跟我们沟通,而且让我们提前入住了的。如果有下一次,我们会再选择这路的。

Tom2017-02-27T00:00:00ZKen was very responsive in communicating. The check-in and check-out process was very smooth and very well organized.
Sean2016-08-25T00:00:00ZOur experience staying at Ken & Rie's place was great! The place was clean and had all the necessary amenities. Ken was very responsive to any questions and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. The pocket wifi came in handy and made our experience being a tourist in Japan so much better. The place is about a 10-15 minute walk to the JR train station, which isn't too bad. It does seem kind of far after a long day of walking, or if you're lugging large suitcases. Other than that, could not have asked for a better place and would definitely stay here again!
Chris2016-10-10T00:00:00ZKen's place was clean when we checked in at 4pm. Apartment is located in a residential area so it is dead quiet at night (perfect if you want to escape the city noise). Host was also very responsive when we encountered slight difficulties. Thumbs up Ken.
Kahar 2016-12-15T00:00:00ZThe room is clean and comfortable. It locates in residential area which is very quiet. It takes about 10 minutes to the Shinjuku city centre by train. There is a very big supermarket nearby so it is very convenient to buy food and daily necessity. Ken is a very nice host who gave me much useful information prior to my trip. He alerted me and gave me advice when a typhoon was approaching (finally the typhoon did not attack Tokyo.) Overall a very pleasant experience and it gave me a relaxing vacation in Tokyo. I will choose Ken's accommodation again when I go to Tokyo next time.
Eric2016-10-09T00:00:00ZWe communicated with Ken who was accommodating, accurate and very helpful. The apartment is perfectly located near Shinjuku's vibrant scene but still secluded enough to be quiet and homely for a good night's sleep. We were very happy with our stay here.

It's been a while since I've written about spending New Year in Edinburgh – mainly because we're usually booked well in advance. We're all booked up again this year, so don't delay if you're looking to bring in 2016 in Edinburgh.
Walking and the Great Outdoors #ScotlandHour
We really like the questions which have been chosen for April 2014's #ScotlandHour, so we're writing an article for our guests at Craigwell Cottage who may be interested in using our city centre cottage as a base for walking or other outdoor adventures in Edinburgh or around central Scotland.
Events in Edinburgh from "The List"
For the benefit of Mr Kite
Prepare to be surprised by the discoveries you make during Previously…Scotland's History Festival.
Genealogical research can lead one in so many different directions, and is a hobby which has been growing over the years with programmes such as "Who do you Think You Are" demonstrating the incredible stories which make a family history. I've dabbled with collecting stories from my own family history over the years: having conversations with relatives and snatching time every so often to work on a particularly stubborn bit of the story where I get stuck and can't get further. There's one particular ancestor who had 12 children and who lived from 1870 – 1945 whose story pulls me back every time I pick up the threads to continue my research.
It was a tale about this member of my family which led me to book for one of the events at Warriston Cemetery during the 2013 Scotland's History Festival led by Caroline Gerard, one of the Friends of Warriston Cemetery. There's a Facebook Group you can join too.
On arrival at the event, we were offered the opportunity to contribute an additional £2 over our ticket price (of £4) for the tour to become a Friend of Warriston. As I'd already seen some of the work the group are doing, I was happy to make this small donation. The tour on the 16th November 2013 was the first of two being offered. The next is on 30th November 2013.
One of the surprises about the tour of a graveyard was that it wasn't at all gloomy! Caroline has such enthusiasm for her subject, and told stories of astronomers and Celtic crosses, solicitors and architects, flora and fauna, musicians and anesthetists – as well as giving some quick sketches of the great and the good of Edinburgh's bygone days.
The connection to the Beatles song from which I've taken the title for this post is the stuff of urban legend. One of the graves which has been recently uncovered by the work undertaken by the Friends of Warriston Cemetery in cutting back ivy from memorials which had disappeared has the following inscription:
"Sacred to the Memory of William Batty Patrick Darby son of William and Elizabeth Darby Professionally known as Pablo Fanque who died 1st February 1852, Aged 13 Months Also of Elizabeth, their Daughter who died at Tuam Ireland 30th Oct. 1852, Aged 3 years and 4 months"
It's the PABLO FANQUE name which takes this headstone from a memorial of family tragedy to the connection to John Lennon and the Beatles… for Mr Fanque was a Circus Proprietor for 30 years in the golden age of the circus, and is quoted in the song from Sgt Pepper, "For the benefit of Mr Kite" for which John Lennon took inspiration from a poster advertising one of Pablo Fanque's Circus Performances. The lyrics include the lines:
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanque's Fair, what a scene
An inspiring tour from Caroline Gerard whose stories brought the walk to life. Her enthusiasm for the subjects shone through, for the human and social history; the biodiversity of the area; and the craft of the sculptors on display in the graveyard. Thanks Caroline! I'll be returning to other aspects of this tour in future blogs.
If you're inspired to come to Edinburgh to find out more about your own family history, consider coming during November when Previously…Scotland's History Festival takes place – experts like Caroline are a joy to meet and learn from and could help you take further steps in your own research.
We do hope that you'll get in touch in your search for accommodation – Craigwell Cottage is very conveniently situated for researching at Scotland's People Centre (under 15 minutes walk) as well as being next door to New Calton burial ground – a subject for another day.
Take aim – it's time for Brave
We've been anticipating the arrival of Brave, the new Disney Pixar animated film, since earlier this year. Tomorrow evening, it's the European Premiere as the closing event of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
Since we heard that Visit Scotland was encouraging Scottish Tourism businesses to find ways to create a tie-in with the film, we've been wondering how best to achieve this from our base as a holiday cottage in the middle of Edinburgh. Aside from donning a Merida wig and offering our visitors a warm welcome when they arrive, what should we do?
Last week at the Royal Highland Show we noticed that Bartlett's foods were offering an opportunity to visitors to their stand to try their hand at some target practice with toy crossbows and longbows, and our son was eager to have a try.
We're heading to the premiere tomorrow night to find out what its all about – maybe this will spark some ideas for a tie-in. In the meantime, the film goes on general release here on 3 August 2012 (revised date). As Craigwell Cottage is just a short walk from the Edinburgh OMNI Centre our guests will be able to stroll over there to see it.
PS – we really enjoyed the film!

Edinburgh Fringe 2010 Family Reviewers
Our 2edinburgh blog is designed to give a flavour for things to do and places to go when visiting Craigwell Cottage, our little city centre cottage (with parking) right in the heart of the city of Edinburgh.
We occasionally review special events and happenings in Edinburgh, but as a family we're not able to cover a vast range of different types of event, preferring to focus on little news items about permanent attractions or events which are annual occurrences in the Edinburgh calendar.
This year, our family was given the opportunity to undertake a very special assignment – that of guest reviewers at some Festival Fringe performances on behalf of the review site Edinburgh Spotlight. We were very excited to be asked, and as soon as the Fringe Programme was issued we pored over it working out and planning which shows we would ask to review, and fitting reviews in as best we could with other holiday activities we had planned.
As first time reviewers we really had no idea what we were letting ourselves in for, but the owners of Edinburgh Spotlight were very helpful and patient with us, explaining what would be required. We also opted to go to some shows simply as 'the audience' so that we could relax and enjoy them without having to exercise our critical faculties.
Our first reviews of CBBC's Dan and Jeff in Potted Panto, and the West End Glee Club have now been published, and you can find our other reviews by following the links below We hope you enjoy sharing our experiences.

Edinburgh Military Tattoo – advice for first time visitors
As a frequent visitor to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo over the years, our family has got into something of a routine in planning our trips to this amazing spectacle, so when asked for some advice about where to park if coming from out of town, I realised that our experiences probably had enough 'old timers' knowledge in them to merit a little article on how we do it. Families frequently make this the first experience of Edinburgh's August Festivals, so we're including some advice particularly for visitors who are bringing children to the Tattoo.
Edinburgh Castle survived by being a difficult place to attack, and that means few ways in! On the night of the Tattoo, the only access route is via the upper section of the Royal Mile: Castlehill. To get there you will approach on foot either via Lawnmarket or Johnston Terrace. Organised tour buses will probably drop their passengers in the vicinity of Chambers Street and you'll walk via George IV Bridge and then into the Lawnmarket.
If you're coming by car, our recommendation would be to park at the Kings Stables Road/Castle Terrace car park (see map). Time your arrival to get there after the daily shopping traffic has left, but before it gets filled by Tattoo visitors – and make sure you have a debit/credit card or a large supply of change (at least £10), for even in the evening this car park is expensive. The chances of getting a free parking space in any streets within reasonable walking distance is slim.
The Tattoo takes place in the late evening and although it is August it will be COLD up there – to accommodate the huge crowds which flock there every year, giant stands are erected on three sides of the Castle Esplanade. These stands are high up above the city and even a slight breeze will mean a chilly night as it gets dark and the temperature dips. Remember also that you will be sitting still in a small space, so you won't be able to move about much to keep warm.
This means layers: lots of lovely layers of clothing. It may be August, but dress all the family as if you are going out to play in the snow. This means hats, scarves and gloves too. A good thick pair of socks and stout walking shoes or trainers (sneakers) will be appropriate footwear. I've seen people come here with summer sandals and flip flops – their feet must be blue by the time the show ends. And remember, the Castlehill is cobbled and you will have lots of stairs to climb in the stands so no high heels!
We also find that taking a travelling rug each is a bonus. You can wrap it round your knees and then wear it shawl-like over your shoulders on the way home for added warmth. When our son was small, it was also useful for wrapping him up in to carry a sleeping bundle back to the car.
I'm the niece of a man who wore a wet suit under his clothing one year when attending the Tattoo. I'm not advocating that, but if the forecast is for rain, don't forget that the Edinburgh Military Tattoo has never been cancelled because of the weather – the show will go on!
Hope this is helpful for visitors planning a visit to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Next time you come, stay a little longer – maybe at the lovely Craigwell Cottage from which you can walk to the Tattoo! And here's some more if you're thinking of attending Edinburgh Festival Fringe events.
If you have more helpful hints – add them to the comments.
Edinburgh International Film Festival – The Illusionist – Premiere
The Edinburgh International Film Festival is now firmly established in the calendar as taking place in mid-June each year. Films are screened in many venues throughout the city, with the focus being on The Filmhouse, but this year the Edinburgh Festival Theatre was the venue for the opening event. A red carpet event earlier in the evening set the scene, but for the general public, the first event of the 2010 Festival was a screening of The Illusionist, an animation directed by Sylvain Chomet.
I had read a preview of the movie, and as the centre piece of the movie is the City of Edinburgh itself, I was eager to go along to see how my home city had been depicted.
I shall leave film critics and reviewers to the technical details and simply say that I loved it. I shall want to see it many times over to catch little details I have missed, and I'm sure that the stills from the film will become popular motifs gracing postcards of the city and used to advertise Scotland as a destination. That sounds like I am belittling them, and this is not the case – they are rich in detail and beautifully drawn, but the nature of animation lends itself to use in that way. I shall buy the DVD as soon as it is released and put it in Craigwell Cottage for my guests.
This evening as I returned home after the event, I was seeing Edinburgh through different eyes, and I thank M. Chomet for opening up new vistas for me. I wonder when the big curly lampposts disappeared from Princes Street? I caught glimpses of them in the movie and was transported to the Edinburgh of my childhood. It even made me nostalgic for the Jenners of old – in the days when it was an independent Edinburgh institution.
If you're thinking about attending the Edinburgh International Film Festival in future years, be sure to take a look at Craigwell Cottage to see if we might suit your requirements for accommodation. We're within walking distance of The Festival Theatre, and at the opposite end of the city centre from The Filmhouse.
Planning for the Edinburgh Fringe
I must confess to having had 'Fringe Fatigue' last year (sorry!), and having spent a week of August out of Edinburgh just to escape the hustle and bustle, and because it was a 'last summer' for a chapter of our family's life story (but that's an entirely different tale).
June 12th saw the launch of the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme, and my enthusiasm has returned. In all the rushing about I was doing, I had a moment of quiet reflection about what the Fringe has meant to me over the years, and indeed how I was originally introduced to it by my Dad.
When we were children, Dad worked in a building society and was busy during August with things that building societies did (honest, trustworthy institutions that they were back in the 'friendly society' days). But he took time out to take us to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. A very exciting experience for young children who were used to being tucked up in bed by 8 o'clock. The Edinburgh Military Tattoo was our first experience of outdoor events, spectacle, massed Pipe Bands and usually a scary centrepiece involving gun fire or speeding motor bikes. No matter that we had to be huddled under blankets and even carried back home sleepily afterwards – we'd had great fun, been thrilled and in awe, and even cried when the Lone Piper made us feel what it was to be Scottish.
Later, as we grew up, Dad would be involved in organising some special days out at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for us. He loved the challenge of organising a day where we would start at 11.00 am and finish at 11.00 pm and have managed to cram in samples of many different types of entertainment in a day – he'd only have a whole day off every second Saturday, so it was really important to make the most of the day. So we'd start at a children's show, have lunch with a cabaret or musical event going on round about, take in an exhibition or two if the schedule allowed, see a serious theatre piece in the afternoon, find time for tea somewhere swanky, or unusual, and then off to a Footlights performance or a revue type show and something more risqué in the late evening. We usually managed to cram in around 6 performances in the course of one of these days, and over the years we found our favourites. We'd always have 'Instant Sunshine' (in the Miles Kington days) somewhere on the list, and either the Cambridge Footlights or Oxford Revue, a puppet show and the main exhibitions plus whatever The Scotsman reviews suggested was worth seeing. Was it easier to get tickets in those pre-information-revolution days?
After the rest of the family moved away from Edinburgh for various reasons, I stayed on and by this time was working and living in the city Centre. I'd loved the format of cramming so much into a day so much, that I started working it out for myself. Finding the weekends usually too busy, I'd take a weekday off in each of the three weeks of the Festival – with the bank holiday being a given, so only two more to take out of my annual leave. I continued the pattern of trying to fit around 6 shows in during a day, and of course doing it all 'on foot' as the centre of Edinburgh lends itself to that too. Having discovered the power of coloured marker pens and a big piece of paper for planning, I was in stationery heaven. As soon as I got my copy of the Programme, I'd pore over it, marking all the 'would like to see's' and then adding them to a big list and working out how to fit in as many as I could. It seems on reflection that there were more 'one week runs' then, rather than shows being on for the duration, so you had to jiggle about sorting through the lists until you had something approaching a plan, and then of course you had to go to the ticket office in person, there being no 'on-line' ordering in those heady days.
So here I am in 2010, the Mum now. For the last few years I've been taking my own children to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. They've had that late night excitement, and we've had our turn going to the pre-school, pre-reading 'baby' entertainments. We're also past the stage where one of the children is 'too young' and the other 'too old' for the majority of the children's entertainments. And we're also excited by the range of things we might experience – all on our doorstep, all within a short bus ride or walking distance. We've got our Edinburgh Festival Fringe enthusiasm back – hurray! And with the advent of the Excel Spreadsheet, and on-line ordering, we did lots of planning, sorting and ticket buying from the comfort of our home. We can't wait for the magic to begin.

nos roof rack 80 series :)
3 Attachment(s)
I had this posted before, but rather than add, I deleted the other one.
Who can identify the fairing. Here's a hint. The entire rack is made from recycled materials (a trend with my truck, hence "green machine" ) fairing - leftover part cross bars and clamps - freebie from junk yard rack - quad ramp |
I'm going to guess patio door threshold.
Ok then.. top part of an 80 series running board? :)
DING DING DING! We have a winner. I was all po'd that I couldn't get to Al-Reco to pick up some flat stock for the fairing, and I looked over in the corner of the shop and saw it against the wall. I had saved it as I was going to originally make it the top cover for my bumper. |

Time to Relax
Ok - I am finally decompressing from last week's Mompreneur Event. I still find myself staring at the computer at midnight wondering why I'm there! I just have to get used to not having to worry about the Event anymore and all the details for it (until next year that is!). It really was such a success, and it was a true labour of love that took months of planning. If you haven't seen the pictures from the day - check it out under the "Workshops" tab.
As I mentioned in my last blog, more than 200 women attended and participated in the day. I have received so many wonderful and kind emails from moms who attended and showcased and thank you to all of you who wrote me this week - it really meant so much to hear from you.
Happy Father's Day!
We all know the importance of having a great Dad in our lives. As a child growing up, my Dad was everything to me. He was a wonderful role model and inspired me to believe in myself - always.
When I was a teenager, he attended all my games in volleyball, basketball and track and field. I could always count on looking up in the stands and seeing him there. No matter how busy work was for him - he always found time to be there for me.
A Huge Success!
With more than 200 women who attended and participated in the first annual Vancouver Mompreneur Event - I believe it was a very huge success. The speakers were amazing and the energy in the room was palpable. You could feel the energy from all the moms sharing their ideas and knowledge with one another.
I believe it really helped moms who were just starting out with their business idea and were looking for help with how to take the next step. And with so much knowledge in the room, it was easy to see how worth while it was to attend for moms. But as I've always said - moms helping moms - that's what it's all about.
Initial Steps
In my last blog, I talked about the different types of businesses you can have when you are starting out. Now I want to mention the steps that you take, and things to consider about your idea.
These are suggestions only - but will get you thinking. Of course, there may be more steps for you, depending on the type of business that you choose, however, it will help illustrate the most common things that small business owners need to do when starting out.
School is Out!
Well - the first year of Preschool is now over for my son. His last day this week turned out to be a wonderful, sunny afternoon. All the children had so much fun playing games and seeing their teacher one last time before the summer. They all received a diploma and a memory scrapbook containing pictures and artwork they completed throughout the year. They will definitely be going in the memory box for him! :)
Some exciting news to share is that I will be on Urban Rush next week (July 4) to discuss my consulting company and women who I have assisted with the start of their businesses.

Support is Out There
The last installment of Home-Based Business Basics revolves around what resources are out there for women just starting out. It can be as easy as talking with other women who are doing it or finding a mentor who can keep you on track. Asking lots of questions is imperative to your success.
There are some other great resources out there that can help you with your business and provide you with the answers that you need - right from the get go.
Home-Based Business 101
For the next few blogs I want to share some information on various aspects of creating a home-based business. If you are just starting out with your business idea, there is a lot to consider.
I have been down this road myself and want to share some of what I have learned with moms who are contemplating going in to business.
I think its best to first define the different types of businesses you can have and the things you will need to consider to make the right choice for you.
Well - we finally did it - we finally purchased another car. And yes, it was extremely stressful, just as I knew it would be. The vehicle we purchased for myself and the children is the Toyota RAV 4. It is silver and looks great. It has tons of space for the children and all my miscellaneous things and drives really well. I also feel very safe in it. And it only took a month of consistent tire kicking to do it!
My mom is still away on vacation and has only checked in ONCE with me to let me know how they are doing, That is really not good considering when I was younger, it was unacceptable for me not to phone every couple of days to let my parents know how I was - oh how things have changed....
Thomas the Train
Thomas the train was featured in Squamish this weekend (and last weekend) at the West Coast Historical Park. I had tickets for 12 pm and thought I had given us plenty of time to get there when we left at 10am from White Rock. Not so.
Apparently it takes two hours to get to Squamish from White Rock and it wasn't until after I left that I realized the tickets said "Get there at least ONE hour prior to departure time". And it was pouring rain yesterday too. At 3 minutes to 12pm - we pulled up to the station. I told my husband to jump out with my son and RUN!!!! My daughter and I then proceeded down the one mile road to the parking lot to take a shuttle bus back in the rain.

"It's a sin we have to leave"
Ancona is quite possibly a unique place for ship photography, I have been visiting the place on regular basis for the last twelve months, a big advantage spot for photography is the lighthouse at the end of the pier at the entrance of the Port, I have been before, the place was a bit unsafe because there was no railings, so it could look quite unsafe, not anymore, as the photos show, brand new railings are now in place and even the luxury of a bench overlooking the entrance of the harbour, this is an example to follow, these days the easiest option would be to shut the facility down, not here thankfully, the lighthouse is actually known as the "new attraction" of the city, a couple that was enjoying the views and the amazing warm weather, had to leave to some compromise, they turned to me and quite clearly in a very said mood mentioned...... "It's a sin we have to leave", I couldn't agree more, well done to the local authorities, this is a sight to savour and enjoy. Photos 28.5.2016
Maritime Harwich on a stormy day
Harwich is a great place for maritme history, after disembarking the STENA BRITANNICA yesterday at 6.30 am, I went to the waterfront and waited for 7 am for breakfast to be served at the very popular, and publicity apart, for a good reason wonderful PIER HOTEL, after breakfast as usual decided to wait for the departure of my cruise ferry back to Holland, shame about the weather, that was simply awful, what a contrast to the last time I had been, back in September of 2015, here's a few photos taken yesterday, 31.5.2016
VIKING SKY looking wonderful in bright sunshine

"ENDURANCE" going for scrap
HMS "ENDURANCE" has reportedly being sold for scrap and she will be towed to Turkey soon, she seems to be ready looking at these photos taken recently at Portsmouth, the ship was built in 1990 in Norway as the POLAR CIRCLE, she was chartered one year later by the Royal navy and purchased in 1992 when she was renamed "ENDURANCE", history tells us that, due to an error during maintenance, she was flooded in such a bad way that she's been out of service since 2008, the cost to repair the ship is so high that she is no longer viable.

Exotic Drives of Denver
A relaxing trip to Colorado's high country is disarmingly full of nature's beauty. The scene is replete with birdsong cascading from the skies, trees rustling gently in the breeze, and the roar of a V10 engine and its 500 horsepower screaming from a pearl yellow Lamborghini Gallardo as it rips shreds through time and space.
That's a scene most familiar to Exotic Drives of Denver, which sends its customers swooping and soaring around curves behind the wheels of exotic cars. Along with the pearl-yellow Lamborghini, the company's fleet walks tall with a Ferrari and three Porsches whose motors purr in harmony to classic barbershop quartet songs after the last mechanic leaves for the night. Four routes—ranging from 11 miles to nearly 50 miles—give drivers plenty of opportunity to zip around different neighborhoods, including Denver's southeast metro area and the rural roads of Douglas County.

Chinese RestaurantsAsian RestaurantsCaterersRestaurants This place has the best and most reasonable dinner around. If you hate fast Chinese service, just ask to slow it down, and you can linger over inexpensive drinks and wine. There are so many great dishes, from the whole fish, to the fresh dumplings, roast pork the duck, great hot and sour and special soups, and beyond the usual traditional dishes. The ""non-american"" chinese food should be tried for the adventurous-just ask the owner. The take-out is way above the usual. They recently redecorated, so it joins the other nice restaurants on Henry Street as a destination. I know it's just Chinese food, but it really is a great place to go out for dinner without breaking your budget-try it!

Chinese RestaurantsTake Out RestaurantsRestaurant Delivery ServiceAsian Restaurants It's hard to find a decent Chinese restaurant at any price but this is one of them. (I rate this higher then 95% of restaurants I ever attended. This place happens to be beatifully designed, the atmosphere is relaxed (as opposed to the noisy community dining atmosphere in so many busy chinese reataurants - which can also be OK) the food is authentic Chinese as opposed to what they think Americans would like, the staff is friendly and unhurried. What else can one ask for?

Chinese RestaurantsTake Out RestaurantsCaterersAsian Restaurants I have been to 86 Noodles with my boyfriend at least six times, and have consistently been offered amazing food and kind, quick service.\r We both highly recommend the fried wontons, crab wontons, and the shrimp wrapped in crispy bacon. The house fried rice is perfectly seasoned and toasted, while the orange chicken is simply delicious, with whole pieces of chili peppers and sweet orange rinds. We have never been disappointed. It's great.

Chinese RestaurantsFamily Style RestaurantsAsian RestaurantsRestaurants The name of the restaurant is China #1,at least that's the name that is on their menu. The price that they charge when they deliver the food is always more than what is listed on the menu. For example last night I ordered item #D8, which is Fisherman's Lover. On the menu it is $8.60, but they charged me $9.35 and then the delivery guy complained when I wasn't going to give him a tip. I will never order from them again in the future.
