We had an incredible time in Daisuke's apartment! It was exactly as described. Daisuke gave us many recommendations for the area and Tokyo in general. He left us little treats in the apartment and even gave us a goodbye-present. We didn't need anything special from him, but if there had been a problem, he would have been easily and fast to reach. Shimokitazawa is a cozy and hip neighborhood, with all kinds of little shops, especially second hand clothing shops, record stores and small bars. We enjoyed it very much!
