We knew Steve would be a great host as soon as we completed our booking. He immediately provided us with local tips for the area, including very detailed instructions for how to reach the flat from our transfer area. We had a lovely time chatting with him over dinner at one of his favorite local restaurants. He said we’d be “Japanese food experts” before we left, and his advice helped make sure that was true! We enjoyed being outside of the busy areas of Tokyo while still within a short commute to areas like Shinjuku (~20 mins by train). Even better, by being out of the city center, we found so many gems like Kichijoji, Nishi-Ogikubo, and Shin-Koenji that we probably would’ve passed over otherwise. The flat is compact, but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Thanks again, Steve, for being such a great host!
