This place , in Ota- ku - is really the perfect place to stay when visiting Tokyo. It has the benefits of location, ease of access and the most wonderful hosts.
The location is close to train lines that are minutes away, so getting anywhere is a breeze. It is also in the middle of a lovely community that has places to eat, money access and grocery shopping at your fingertips. To add to that is the most amazing Buddhist Monastery nearby that I seriously could visit every day.
The place itself is spacious with comfortable clean beds - much needed as my sons are both well over 6 foot in height. There is a wealth of information at your fingertips here also if you are still uncertain of where to go and what to see. The fact that there is a washing machine and dryer make this place completely self sufficient.
The highlight of all of this are the Hosts- Asako and Kenji . Their generosity , patience and kindness absolutely have no limits. Asako in particular,helped me with a painful medical issue by taking me to doctors, pharmacists and chemists- calling doctors and making appointments as well as translating my needs to all of these people. I am so grateful.
You really cannot do any better than this for your first visit to Tokyo- it truly is the complete package- comfort and convenience with a lot of care on top.
