David and Amanda are warm and friendly and go out of their way to make sure you are happy. They speak great English. Their children are adorable even though we could only really communicate in sign language. The kichen is small but they made room for me to cook, lent me a bike and rain poncho and personally took me to all the food stores I needed. There's a flight of stairs up to the house and another in the house up to the bedroom (good to know if you have a heavy suitcase. ) I hope the room with them will be available when I come back to Tokyo.
