Izumi and Ryo made us feel very welcome from the minute we arrived in the neighborhood. We were met at Otsuka station and shown back to the apartment, which was in a great location, and got to hear recommendations from both hosts of things to see and do nearby. Izumi and Ryo also checked up on us throughout the week and made us feel very taken care of! We were also impressed by the location of the apartment, as it is in a quiet, yet happening neighborhood and on the same JR train line as many main areas (Harajuku, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ueno, Tokyo, etc.) I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the Tokyo area, as our stay was great!
