Takeshi's place was very clean, which is really my number one concern in where I choose to stay. I like the fact that the whole place isn't too big so you're never sharing a room with a ton of people. You are in relatively close quarters so if you're a light sleeper this might not be exactly the place. It's a little further out from the main areas and a bit of a walk from the station (8/10 minutes) but it's right on a line you want to be on and all of the pros outweigh the very limited cons. I also very much appreciated little ways they made people feel welcome upon arrival. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend From Scratch for anyone looking for a clean, relaxed, and budget friendly place to stay!
