Table of Contents
The most common problem families face when traveling: "How many rooms should we book at a hotel for 3-4 people?"
The 2-bedroom, 1-living room layout of apt-2ldk perfectly solves the accommodation challenge for three generations or parents with 2 children.
4 Family Room Details
01 | Grandparents Room vs Kids Room | Separated Spaces
Elderly guests typically go to bed early and wake up early, while children tend to sleep late and wake up late. With two separate bedrooms, you won't disturb each other. The living room becomes your gathering space during the day.
For the Elder Room, we recommend choosing the inner room for a quieter experience.
02 | Kitchenette | Flexible Dining for Seniors
Elderly guests may not be accustomed to heavily seasoned dishes. **The small kitchenette can heat mild foods**——purchase plain congee, miso soup, and steamed fish, then warm them in the microwave.
The refrigerator can keep essential medicines and health teas chilled.
03|Bathroom Shower|Precautions for Elderly Guests
Private showers have no bathtub — **seniors who want to soak can visit the Shinjuku Ward public bathhouse** (¥500/visit), which offers a more authentic Japanese experience.
The shower area has non-slip mats, but we recommend bringing your own grab bars or safety belts for elderly guests.
04|Security|Smart Lock + Security Camera
apt-2ldk equipped with **smart lock** + entrance security camera for worry-free family stays. Children can enter and exit without carrying physical keys.
Smoke detectors and safes are fully equipped.
Three-generation family apt-2ldk **More affordable than booking two hotel rooms, with a stronger sense of "home"**. Grandparents and children can each find their own space.
