Yuko and Ken's place was great for my party of 5. The place is all tatami mat over wooden floors and the beds are thick futons. We all preferred harder beds so the set up was perfect for us. The location is about midway between Meijiro station and Ikebukoro, which was wonderful and incredibly convenient. The house is set far from the main street, so you can only hear quiet mumbling of the train occasionally at night. Ikebukoro is one of the best shopping areas in Tokyo, with night life/karaoke to boost :) All amenities such as shampoo/conditioner/towels/laundry are provided, and the host provided a small Japanese snack for us upon arrival which was a great touch. Yuko always responded to my inquiries within an hour or so.
