Hey guys, it’s Micaela, and this week I’m in Tokyo.
-
Sharla invited me up to Tokyo to collaborate with her on her project, so I decided to take
-
that opportunity to kind of take a little bit of an extended stay up here in Tokyo.
-
And I rented this Airbnb and I kinda wanted to show you because it was really cheap.
-
I always use Airbnb, I never stay in hotels anymore because, um, hotels are overpriced,
-
and they're small, and crowded, and just overall super lame.
-
So, I wanted to show you the airbnb that I got for this trip, this small visit to uh,
-
Tokyo.
-
First of all, this apart is old as balls, but I feel like, in Tokyo, you're really hard
-
pressed to find something that is close to the station, and affordable, and like, spacious,
-
and new.
-
I think if it was a new apartment, this would cost a fortune.
-
And, right away, we've got this nice spacious kitchen, which I quite like.
-
It's very simple.
-
Very spacious, you could stay here with a family I guess, have four people at the table.
-
You could even cook if you wanted to...There's a gas stove right here.
-
Oh, all the dishes are down here.
-
I kinda wish that our house was like, as clean as basic as this but yeah.
-
Um, so then we go the kitchen and we turn right, we've got a beautiful little living
-
room.
-
And I guess like, size-wise it's not a very big living room, but I guess the way they've
-
designed it, with the long couch, the small table, the small tv, tv stand, it feels big.
-
It feels big, and I love the red and the green combination.
-
It just makes the room look alive.
-
I actually, I think the, I think that these couches can make an extra bed.
-
Yeah, this definitely folds down.
-
So these fold down into like, two extra beds.
-
And, in the bedroom itself we have, two beds here.
-
These are very basic.
-
They're not, you know, the most comfortable beds in the world, but, they do the job.
-
And because I'm cheeky I slept in one the first night, and then I slept in this one
-
last night because I dunno, because I can.
-
Hotels in Tokyo, they'll run you anywhere between $80-150 a night, depending on the
-
location, and this was $41 a night, and it's like the size of 5 hotel rooms.
-
It's crazy.
-
Um, the one down side, as it is an old apartment, like, the bathroom is quite dirty.
-
This is the shower room.
-
I'll show you.
-
This is the shower room, and this is like the laundry, this is my towel, I used the
-
towels so they're kind of messy, but um, yeah, then, the bath is like this thing, with like
-
a little hose.
-
HOSE.
-
The toilet, actually the toilet room is quite cute, I like this, it's adorable.
-
And they decorated the door.
-
"Where do you plan to go on your next trip?"
-
I'M GOING HOME
-
And I can't get over how just like, spacious and comfortable and just like, wonderful this
-
apartment was, because, I dunno, I just like, I found it very relaxing.
-
I DID see a cockroach in the stairwell, and that, but I mean like cockroaches are just
-
such a thing in summer in Japan, like, if you live on one of the lower levels of an
-
apartment complex, you cannot avoid cockroaches.
-
They just get in everywhere.
-
And you know, like, they're..
-
They're cute?
-
I dunno.
-
I try not to think about them too much, like I don't love them, but I don't...
-
They're not going to ruin my day.
-
So yeah.
-
There was a cockroach in the stairwell, and it was huge, and it did startle me, but like
-
it didn't make me feel like this room was any less safe or clean or whatever.
-
Uh, yeah.
-
Um, I'm gunna put a link in the description to my referral link, because if you come to
-
Japan and you wanna try Airbnb, and you use my referral link, you will get like, I think
-
$30-40 dollars off your stay, and then I also get a referral bonus, and then I can stay
-
at more airbnbs.
-
If we could both get a discount, that'd be really nice, because then when I come up and
-
visit Tokyo I don't spend as much money on accomodation, and I can spend it on other
-
things!
-
Yay.
-
Alright, I gotta go, my friend's waiting for me, but yeah.
-
Talk to you again soon, bye!
