Hirano-san was a great host. It was very helpful to be picked up from the train station on arrival. The apartment has all the amenities including a washing machine, so we could do laundry during our 5 day stay. There is a bus stop within a minutes walk, and the bus takes you to the Asakusa train station. Sensoji temple is also close by. All in all, it was a convenient place to stay for sight seeing in Tokyo.
