Daisuke was a very responsive and friendly host to interact with. Although we didn't see him too often, it was always very nice to be able to chat when we did. The whole area is very close to a JR station (Oimachi) and another one on the subway.
I travelled with a friend during our stay, and the area was very safe - with nothing to worry about. Daisuke was also a very accommodating host as well - he left us some really nice Japanese sweets and also tried to help us find accommodation when something last minute didn't work out. We caused a lot of trouble during our stay but he was always very friendly and calm!
The house was also as clean as expected, with a nice carpet heater to help warm the futons on that we slept on which we needed, as the winter temperatures were quite chilly. The heater in the lounge room also is very nice as well.
Daisuke's place is a little bit difficult to find, but that's no problem as he provides a very helpful guide for you to use a few days before you arrive; or of course use google maps.
I would stay here again, for the budget and the company - thanks for the coffee!
