"Renting this apartment before coming to Japan was surprisingly super easy. Staff was super helpful and friendly and English speaking. The apartment was lovely and everything I needed was already set up. I definitely encourage others to use this service!"
"I had a great time in Nishi-Koyama with my stay with ModernLivingTokyo! The appartement was nice and the neighborhood peaceful. The staff are very friendly and responsive. I highly recommend if you plan to stay some months in Tokyo."
"I was very happy with my stay with ML. It was a great find and made my move to Tokyo a seamless experience. The staff were extremely kind and always responsive. I appreciated their flexible terms, and it was a big help not having to worry about furniture."
"We have now rented 3 apartments from Modern Living Tokyo. Their leasing process is quick and easy via WhatsApp/email. If we've ever had an issue, they responded within minutes. The staff are polite and they remember us. We will definitely return!"
"Lived in a sharehouse in Asakusa for 5 months, had a great experience. Had zero issues with the property or dealing with the staff. I was able to sign a contract with relatively short notice too. I'll probably stay with this company the next time I visit Japan!"
"I really enjoyed my stay at the Modern Living Tokyo Meguro property! The position of the apartment was very convenient; many stores around and a station only a minute away. The room was more spacious than most apartments in Tokyo at the same price."
"I stayed with Modern Living Tokyo for 11 months. Everything was absolutely perfect. The staff respond within 24 hours, always eager to find a solution. The private apartment was impeccable and fully equipped. I am truly grateful!"
"The staff were all kind, spoke English perfectly, and worked very fast so that I could move in as quickly as possible. The apartment was in the Toshima area only 3 minutes walk from a Yamanote line train station. Highly, highly recommend!"
"I have lived there for 2 years and was working in Japan. The staff is very helpful. Each time I had an issue with the room (which was really rare) I obtained quick and strong support. The vicinity is also very nice. Strongly recommended."
