Masami's place is very clean, comfy, and family friendly. You can easily make home cooked meals if you want to! My whole family (we're five!) stayed in Masami's place for a week, and we all felt at home. Her place is well stocked with the essentials.

I love the Hatagaya neighborhood - it's quiet and private, and yet you can find many shops, groceries, cafes, and restaurants around. How near it is to Shinjuku is very convenient, too.

Masami is a great host and made us feel welcome to her place even if we didn't meet her in person. She left us some snacks and a cute note. She'd also happily reply to our questions from the moment we booked her place up to the time when we were already staying at her place. I wish I'd met her in person!

I would definitely recommend her place, and will definitely stay at her place again the next time I go back to Tokyo. Hatagaya will always be my home in Tokyo. :) Thanks, Masami! Missing your place already!
