Staying at Daisuke's place in Shimo-Kitazawa in Tokyo was great. The apartment is small (as expected for Tokyo) but is very well appointed and well located close to the sights and in a great location for wandering and enjoying young Tokyo culture. Daisuke is a great host and his help and expertise in both the neighborhood and Tokyo in general is wonderful for a first time visitor. I strongly recommend staying with Daisuke while in Tokyo.
