We loved our stay at Chikako’s place. The house had lots of room for our family of four, including two teenage boys, it’s a great neighbourhood, and Chika is a very generous and communicative host. We got the hang of getting the Oedo line to Shibuya in no time (even though it’s not quite as convenient as the Yamanote line), plus there’s a massage chair (!!) and room to eat in the stocked kitchen. Highly recommend it as place to base yourself while in Tokyo. So much better than a hotel room
