This was my first airbnb experience and it seriously could not have been better! I wanted to attend a concert at the Tokyo Dome and Maki's place was perfect for that. Her place is right between the Dome and Iidabashi Station from where you can get anywhere in Tokyo easily (for example, you don't even have to change trains to get to the Ghibli Museum). The home has everything you could ask for and is super nice and clean. Your room is conveniently right by the entrance and the shower is literally just a few steps down the hall. Upstairs is the dining area and a huge TV that you can use pretty much as you please.

But that doesn't even begin to describe what a great person Maki is. For example, my airline lost my luggage and I was worried about not being able to change and freshen up after my flight. But, without even knowing this, Maki had a welcoming package prepared that included everything I needed. She is always interested in your day. And if you need to know anything, like how to get tickets to something, the best places to buy things or any other information, she and her husband will always help you out. Not to mention what interesting and fun people they are (ask Maki about the famous people she's met--it's impressive!). And finally, although she is pretty humble about it, Maki makes THE BEST miso soup in the world. Trust me!
