(Looking to swap 2 weeks ~ 2 months for a city place in Western Europe, the Americas, or equitorial Africa.)
2 bedrooms apartment a 10 min walk from Shibuya, one of Tokyo's busiest stations. Or a 3 min walk from Shinsen station on a smaller local line.
2+ desks, plenty of living room space. Bedrooms: the main is a tatami one (i.e. sleep on futons on bamboo matting) and the other normal western style. (Which sort of bed to put in the second bedroom is T.B.D. as of May 2025)
Super-convenient neighbourhood despite being primarily a residential one. Lots of restaurants on the street itself.
At the moment I have an entire room spare and enough space for two workplaces as well. So non-simultaneous hosting is possible too.
