If you're looking for a cozy place to stay (either family or bunch of friends) - this is a wonderful choice. Staying at Yuri's place is nice way to try a common daily life of Tokyo. Located in the most desireable residential districts to live in (western Tokyo, close to the Tama area), it is still easily accesible and close to the biggest transport hubs of Tokyo (Shinjuku, Shibuya) plus many others great places (Sangenjaya, Nakano, Shimokita etc.) The house itself is well-stuffed, garbage separation eased to just two categories. The neighborhood is hugely self-sufficient, having numbers of various combini, supermarkets, izakayas and chain-restaurants, a huge 100-Yen store by the station. I could continue forever, so just stay there ands see for yourself. I do recommend
