We had a wonderful week in Tokyo staying with David and his family! They were very friendly and generous, showing us a local izekaya and even taking us out on a magical night of summer festival fireworks! We really felt like locals.
The Meguro neighbourhood where they live is full of great places to explore. And it's only two quick & cheap stops on the subway with your Pasmo/Suica card before you're on the JR Yamanote line and using your JR Rail Pass if you have one.
The bedroom has perfect air con (thank goodness) and you have your own toilet; the main bathroom is downstairs and shared with the family.
We are so grateful to David & Amanda for welcoming us to Tokyo and we had a fantastic time - highly recommend!
