If you are visiting Tokyo and need a place to stay. Then THIS is the one. Takeshi-san made us feel welcome and greeted us when we arrived. He is one of the best hosts we have met. He was easy to contact, and excellent at telling what to see and where to eat in the area. It was by far our most pleasant and enjoyable stay.
The house has everything you would ever need. The bathroom was amazing. It was beyond our expectations, and all the appliances are new and up to date – and as the only one we have seen, he had bought a washing machine with English programs that was easy to use.
The location of the place is wonderful. Asakusa train station is a 15 min walk away, which you can enjoy while walking past the Senso ji temple and all the small and cosy shops there. The place is close to many interesting places you can visit, such as Akihabara, Ueno and Ginza, and just by changing train on Ueno station, you can jump on to JR Yamanote line and visit all the top spots – Shibuya, Harajuku, Shunjuku, Ikebukuro and so on.
When we return to japan in the future, we will be looking at staying here again if it is available.
