"Neighborhood: YanesenPrice: From $76 per night While Airbnbs in Tokyo come a dime a dozen, sometimes you still want to treat yourself to some hotel comforts, like 24-hour security, cleaning services, and in-house breakfast. Graphy Nezu, the hotel-apartment hybrid, functioned as a share-house for entry-level job seekers about 40 years ago. Now, it serves as a long-term lodging option for budget travelers. The shared dorm-like apartments have a very “hostel” feel to them: single rooms with communal bathrooms, kitchens, and couches. Oftentimes, it's hard to distinguish who is staff versus guest—all are happy, friendly, and helpful." - Paris Wilson
