Hello!
I’m a graduate student and will be going to Tokyo this summer for research. I’ll be staying from around mid-June to mid-August. I have applied for guest housing at my host university (Waseda), but I will probably be notified in April, and the situation does not seem particularly favourable (I am assuming that I will not get any spot since everything appears to be quite full according to the university offices). Do you have any resource to suggest for short-term rentals? My partner will be joining me for a month, so we would like to live together in my last month of stay.
So far I have found something through Oakhouse and AirBnB. Our budget is limited, when factoring in plane tickets and everything, but neither I nor my partner need a lot of space and can adjust to small apartments, as long as a unit bathroom and a cooking space are available. Do you have any advice or resources to suggest?

AirBnB will be your best bet if it’s just for a month.
Airbnb always looks way more expensive than the alternatives I use. Checkout [https://www.sumyca.com/en](https://www.sumyca.com/en) for nicer, modern, short-term rentals that aren’t as expensive or [https://www.sakura-house.com/](https://www.sakura-house.com/) if you want to go barebones and share a room or a have your own tiny room.
