I stayed seven nights at Kero-kero House during the last week of November. I felt like a family member right from the start. As soon as my reservation was accepted, communication was not an issue, I felt I knew them even before meeting them in person! Kotaro-san and baby Miya met me at Nishi-Nippori JR station so early on my arrival (my flight arrived at 5AM!), and Kotaro-san helped me with my big suitcase. We walked to the house and Kotaro-san gave explanation along the way. I takes not more than 10 minutes walk between Nishi-Nippori station and the house, and the route is very straight-forward.

I was welcomed by Kei-san and shown around the house and she explained how to use the toilet, bathroom and other things in the house. I have my own toilet and the shared bathroom is never an issue. Everything is clean. My room is big with plenty of room for storage, and the bed is very comfortable. I was given free use of a pocket Wi-Fi which is so, so, so useful when exploring Tokyo.

Kei-san is such an excellent hostess! I was spoilt-rotten every morning with delicious Japanese breakfast. Each morning (and there were eight mornings!) was started with a different breakfast and every single one of them was delicious. Oishi!!

One evening, Kei-san prepared Nabe for dinner and invited all staying guests (they have another room in the house and another listing in Ikebukuro) to share this delicious and healthy dinner. It is something like steamboat. So thoughtful of them to bring people together like a family.

The listing description was accurate. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe. Plenty of food near the station and even across the road (which I did not try). As this was not my first Tokyo visit, I wanted to see some places I had not been, so Kei-san suggested Jiyugaoka and Shimokitazawa, both are delightful places with many laneways. I especially found Jiyugaoka very nice and worth revisiting in the future.

Kei-san did my laundry. Kotaro-san helped with folding the clean dry laundry. They are a great team! Their hospitality knows no bound! Arigatou gozaimase to you both so making my stay so special!

Baby Miya is the cutest, sweetest and most good-natured baby in the whole world and I miss her very, very much! I am sure she has stolen many guests' hearts and mine is included!

Kotaro-san and Baby Miya sent me to Nippori station on my departure afternoon. Again, Kotaro-san helped with my luggage, this time there were two suitcases!! Arigatou gozamaise!!

I will definitely stay at Kero-kero House again when I next visit Tokyo. I can't wait to see and cuddle Baby Miya again!
