Ryan was already awesome before we met him as he helped us get tickets to Studio Ghibli in advance. He also picked us up from the train station and drove us to the apartment, which was a great relief as we brought a little too much luggage. The apartment was equally awesome: clean and had all the necessary facilities (washing machine, microwave, air-con), and Ryan was very accommodating as well. In fact, he offered to store our luggage until we returned to Tokyo. My friends and I are super glad to meet him, and we definitely recommend his place to fellow travellers. :)
