My mother and I had a wonderful stay at Kevin's place. As a host, he is all you can ask for; attentive and helpful before, during, and after our stay. The place itself is cozy, in a quiet neighborhood in hatsudai, about 7-10 min from the hatsudai station that you can take to the shibuya station where all the tourists go! It is also close to yoyogi park, which you can take a bus to from the station. Convenience stores and restaurants as soon as you get off the station to get to his place, so there's plenty to eat! You really do feel like a local. General tip: rush hour starts around 7-9am and again at 5-7pm. If you don't mind crowds, I'd say go and experience that, it's a rush...literally. Overall, a very memorable place to stay and great host! Book this place, you won't regret it!
