David was very welcoming to our family. The Ramen near his home was so delicious! It took a bit of time to figure out how to get to his house but once you find it the location is superb. It is near many local eateries which made it feel like we were able to experience community life in Japan- you will see lots of bikers, children and people greeting each other in the street. This place is good for families to stay. :) My baby appreciated the heater and sound system in the bathroom too.
