Four of us stayed at Hirotake's place when we arrived in Tokyo in mid-September. Hirotake is a great host who was always ready to respond to messages, and provided delicious snacks on our arrival :) Hirotake's place is exactly as described and was not difficult to find thanks to Hirotake's helpful guidance and Google maps (I would recommend checking Google Street View and the images provided by Hirotake before you depart, so you know exactly what the building looks like, as the building itself is quite narrow and can be missed if you don't know what you're looking for). Hirotake's place is close to three subway/train stations, and is within walking distance to many attractions as well (we walked to Tokyo Tower in the morning - only took about 20 minutes). We really enjoyed our stay at Hirotake's place, and would recommend it to those visiting Tokyo.
