這次的東京行之所以命名為東京貓之旅
很大的原因就是因為其中三天我們選擇住在這間有三隻貓的民宿
當初想說從來沒有使用過Airbnb，就想嘗試看看
無意間就瀏覽到這間沒有名字的民宿，標題只打了Tatami room with three cats （←點我看介紹）
看看介紹與評價，感覺相當的好啊！
民宿位在墨田區的鐘ヶ淵站，隸屬於東武鐵道線
雖然除了晴空塔、淺草之外，到各大景點基本上都需要轉車
不過這點我們並不是很介意就是了，我們蠻喜歡搭電車的XD
而且它是我嚮往的那種跟房東住在一起、而不是飯店化的民宿
另外不只一個評價有提到房東英文很棒容易溝通
貓咪們也都很親人（←完全是主因XD）
價格也很公道，雙人房一個晚上才900多台幣
於是就果斷下訂了
訂房後跟男主人Ace開始用Airbnb內建的管道溝通
我表明了自己是第一次使用Airbnb，詢問了需要注意的事項
Ace表示就牙刷要自己帶，其他如毛巾或洗沐產品他們都會提供
然後會給我們備份鑰匙
還有提到女主人Rebecca其實回美國度假了
剛好會在我們入住的當天回到日本（有這麼巧的事就對了XD）
除此之外就沒什麼要注意的了
不過在出發前不久，接到Ace的通知，說整個五月他們所在的公寓電梯都要維修
等於說我們去的這段時間內都沒有電梯可以用！！！而房間位在公寓的四樓啊四樓！
Ace說怕我們這樣提行李爬樓梯太辛苦，所以他會到車站來接我們
真是貼心
為了聯絡更方便，於是我們互加了LINE
當天準備前往民宿時用LINE告知了Ace我們上車的時間
到鐘ヶ淵站就看到Ace在車站迎接我們了
不得不說Ace的英文真的非常好，好到嚇我一跳，發音什麼都很道地
大概是我所認識的日本人中英文數一數二好的了XD
另一個是古川雄輝，嗯但我其實不算是真的認識他XDDDD
（私心支援古川雄輝圖XD
）
從鐘ヶ淵站走大約7分鐘就來到民宿了
果不其然看到電梯被圍起來還在維修中......
話說一個電梯從五月初修到都快月底了居然沒辦法修好嗎XD
來到位在四樓的房間後，一開門就出現了三隻肥滋滋的貓在客廳迎接我們XDDDD
啊~這畫面說多療癒就多療癒 
整個屋子空間其實不大，大概就20來坪
外面還有個陽台這樣
客廳旁邊的拉門拉開就是我們所住的榻榻米房間
整個房間保持得很乾淨，空氣中瀰漫著屬於榻榻米的那種草香
雖然是地鋪，不過床墊跟棉被都軟綿綿的睡起來超舒服
完全治好我的失眠症頭，好想整組打包回台灣啊XD
牆上還裝飾著一些和風的小物
然後這裡有提供免費WIFI，設備算是很齊全
入住當天，我一整個下午都跟Ace在聊天，男友先生則是很快的跟貓變成了好朋友
評價完全沒有騙人，這裡的貓真是有夠親人XD
且讓我一一來介紹
這隻橘白貓是Monster
特技是會開紗門溜到陽台，所以記得要跟Ace拿紗門固定器免得牠偷溜出去
也會開我們睡的房間的拉門，所以晚上門關起來也沒用牠會打開XDDDD
這隻虎斑貓是Leo
有著麒麟尾，身體短短肥肥像顆球
明明很肥卻特愛窩在貓跳台的小小籃子裡，整隻都溢出來（？）
這隻白肚肚是BB (Big Boy)
完全就是民宿的招財貓
跟人最親，簡單說就是誰都好XD
只要我們一坐下來就要窩到腿上
有夠愛塞奶
故在此我要送上一連串BB的塞奶照（新注音預設是塞奶罩....
）
表情也太醜XDDDDD
連頭髮都來不及吹就窩過來抱住腿
可以不要一副我打擾到你們的樣子嗎XD
我有一種專屬位置被貓搶走的感覺......
（哀怨）
除了貓之外，Ace跟Rebecca也很友善很好聊
住這種民宿的好處就是可以和不同文化的人交流，真的很有趣！
Ace是日本人，去美國西雅圖留學的時候認識熱愛日本文化的Rebecca
兩人結婚後，Rebecca就跟著ACE來到日本
Rebecca是個專業coser，看她FB很多出cos團的照片
她說她最喜歡美少女戰士，房間裡擺了滿滿的美少女戰士模型XD
難怪這兩人會一拍即合啊哈哈哈~
而Ace跟Rebecca也很熱心，有什麼需要都可以跟他們說
像我們就有拜託Ace幫我們印出迪士尼的門票XD
他還主動邀我們一起去看皮克斯展
不過因為Rebecca從美國飛回來後有點小感冒，所以很可惜最後沒能一起去
環境方面的話，我會建議如果對整潔很要求或是會過敏的人可能要先做好心理準備
雖然Ace跟Rebecca都有盡量在打掃
但畢竟有三隻貓，貓毛這點是無可避免的
像我跟男友先生是因為對貓毛完全都習慣了所以沒差
但有差的人千萬不要因為貓太可愛就忍不住去挑戰啊XD
總體來說，是個讓我們感到很放鬆、很有"家的感覺"的民宿
一個離開後莫名會讓人很想念的地方
不得不說，逛街逛一整天，回民宿看到這種畫面感覺疲累都瞬間消失
真心推薦給英文好又愛貓的人，到日本玩時一個新的住宿選擇 
P.S.
當然飯店也一樣，但這種跟主人一起生活的民宿更是需要大家都做個體貼的旅人~
雖然Ace他們人很好都不會說什麼或要求什麼
但我想維持房間整潔、晚上盡量放低聲音、不粗暴的對待貓咪等等這種基本禮儀我們還是應該要自發的做到
相信只要用良好的態度互相交流，一定可以像我們一樣在這裡度過美好的時光
台灣的國民外交，從你我做起 
不過雖然我自己使用上沒有遇到問題
但許多人反應airbnb使用起來還是有一定的風險，
包括房間可能會突然被取消
或是到現場才發現房間落差很多之類的
保障略為不足
所以我建議大家現在可以多參考台灣自己的訂房平台AsiaYo
他們專營亞洲區的住宿，房間和airbnb一樣大多偏向溫馨民宿類跟一般飯店式的不一樣
是喜歡這種住宿風格又不敢用airbnb的人的好選擇XD
而且介面都是中文的，使用起來也比較親切哦
English Version
The main reason I named this trip "Tokyo Cat Tour" is because we chose to stay at this B&B for 3days
And they have 3 lovely cats.
It was our first time using the app, Airbnb
And I accidentally bump into this B&B with the name "Tatami room with three cats"
When I check on the reviews, it's all very positive!
The B&B located in Toyko, Sumida section, the nearest station is Kanegafuchi Station.
Although it needs to change train if you want to go to the main sites in Tokyo, but we don't really mind, we love taking trains, lol.
And it's the kind of B&B that I've always wanted to try, the kind that really live with the host.
Besides, many reviews mention that the host speaks great English and is easy to communicate.
The cats are all very friendly (←main reason)
And the price is fair, only $29 per night.
So I just booked it right away!
After booking, I started to communicate with the host---Ace.
I let him know that this is our first experience of Airbnb, and ask if there is something we need to be aware of?
Ace said that we only need to bring our own toothbrush, he will offer other toiletries like towel and shampoo and etc.
And we will be receiving a spare key.
He also mentioned that his wife Rebecca is actually on a vacation in US, and will be back on the same day we check-in (what a coincidence!)
Other then, there's nothing to be aware of.
But then, I received Ace's message that the elevator of their apartment will be under maintenance for the entire May!
That means there's no elevator to use while we live there, and the room is on 4th floors!
Ace said that he know we have big luggages, he will meet us at the station to help us with the luggages so that we don't have to carry too much while climbing stairs.
How sweet!
For better communication, we added each other's LINE.
On the day of check-in, we LINE Ace after we got on the metro, and saw Ace greeting us at Kanegafuchi Station right after we got off.
I have to say, that Ace really speaks good English!
He almost scared me with his perfect pronunciation, lol.
Probably one of the best among all the Japanese I knew. (Another is Furukawa Yuki, but I don't think I really knew him haha.)
The B&B is about 7mins walk from Kanegafuchi Station.
And just as expected, that the elevator is still under maintenance.
Can't help but wonder why it tooks so long to fix an elevator, lol.
3 big~big~cats show their welcome after we arrived
What a healing picture!
The house is about 60-70 square meters
With a balcony
Our tatami room is behind the sliding door.
The room is clean, you can smell the special aroma of grass due to the tatami floor.
Although the bed is on the floor, but the mattress and quilt is really soft and comfortable!
Completely cured my insomnia!
The wall is decorated by some Japanese style sundries.
Free WiFi is available.
While I spent the whole afternoon chatting with Ace, my boyfriend quickly became friends with the cats!
The reviews did not lie, the cats here are indeed friendly!
Let me introduce them one by one
This orange cat is Monster
With special skill of opening the screen door, so make sure don't let him sneaks out!
Oh he also knows how to open the sliding door of tatami room, so it's no use even you close it, lol.
This tabby is Leo
With short tail, short body, like a round round ball.
Loves the basket on the cat tree, although it seems a bit too small for his size....
This is BB, BB stands for Big Boy
He is totally the lucky cat of this B&B!
Most friendly, close to everyone, love to sit on people's leg.
Being really affectionate.
So here I present you a series of BB's pictures
Ugly face, lol.
He didn't even give my boyfriend time to dry his hair
Please don't act like I disturbed you guys okay? lol.
I have a feeling of being replaced.....
Besides the cats, Ace and Rebecca are both friendly too.
The benefit of living in a B&B like this is that you get to communicate with people of different culture and know their story, it's really interesting!
Ace is Japanese, met Rebecca while he studied abroad in US, they got married and chose to live in Japan.
Rebecca is a professional coser, she said she likes Sailor Moon the best and her room is filled with related products!
No wonder the two of them are so match!
Ace and Rebecca are also very willing to help, you can tell them if you have any need.
They helped print out disney e-ticket for us, we really appreciate that!
Ace even invited us to PIXAR exhibition!
Unfortunately, Rebecca caught a cold and not feeling well after she came back from US, so it's a pity we have to cancelled it.
As for the enviornment, I think you need to be aware that although Ace and Rebecca try their best to keep the room clean, but with 3 cats, you just can't avoid cat hair!
Me and my boyfriend are used to cat hair so we're totally fine, but if you really care, don't challenge yourself just because the cats are cute, lol.
Over all, this place makes us feel like "home" and relax.
A place you will miss after leaving it
Must say, after a long day of walking, this is the kind of picture that can make your tiredness go away!
Highly recommond to those who truly love cats, a new choice to stay in Tokyo, Japan.
P.S.
To live in a B&B like this, don't forget to be a caring guest!
Although Ace and Rebecca are nice and said nothing about rules, but I think to keep the room tidy, lower the voice at night, treat the cats gently and etc.
These are basic manners that we should spontaneously do.
I believed as long as you communicate with good attitude, you will enjoy a wonderful time here like we did.
People-to-people diplomacy, starts from you and me.
