My stay at Zen House - Pine Room was very pleasant. Like many of those who had the pleasure to stay with Koji, Nami and Mr. T, I felt very well taken care of since the day I arrived. Directions for everything were thorough and easy to follow, especially for the ride in from the airport (particularly important for a first time traveller in Japan).

The unit was as described on airbnb, which was clean, spotless and spacious. It was obvious that the owners cared for the unit. Koji was flexible and generous given my early arrival and late departure schedules.

I was first worried that the location of the unit would be too far from the central busy area, but I'd have to say Katsushika is a very tasteful and humble area. I am really glad I stayed away from the hustle bustle spots, while still be very accessible to it. Train station was a quick 2 minute walk. Portable wifi was provided, and was a travelling essential. I could not have survived without it!

I wish I had gotten to know Koji, Nami and Mr. T over a meal or beer, but my schedule was quite packed as I was only here for 3 days. I will definitely visit and check-in at one of their units again in the near future.
