I had a great stay with Hotaka, I was only there a couple of days, but she and her housemate were incredibly welcoming, and invited me out with them on both days I stayed- She's a great host and you'd be missing out not to stay here! The room was very clean and comfortable, and was easy to find from the train station. Nearby there's a nice lake and forest/mountain to walk round, but otherwise a quiet and relaxing place to visit away from the noise of Tokyo. 5/5 recommend staying here!
