We stayed in Taeko's place on the back-end of a visit to Japan and during our second stint in Tokyo. We could not have been happier with Taeko's place.
We loved the unique design of the apartment and several amenities stood out.
The bed was spacious and comfortable and the shower was luxurious by the standards of other places we stayed at in Japan. The location is fantastic -- mere minutes from the bustle of Shibuya and within 20 minutes walking from Yoyogi Park and Harajuku. Though there are restaurants and clubs on the same street, we did not experience disruptive noise (the calls of crows were as disruptive as human activities).
We were very pleased with Taeko as a host. She met us late on our arrival date to let us into the apartment and give us a tour of the space, and she responded promptly and courteously to every question and message. She made small snacks available when we arrived, which we greatly appreciated after a day of traveling.
Overall, this is a great place and a great value. If we returned to Tokyo, we would definitely book with Taeko again.
