This place provides excellent value in Tokyo. it's large, very recently renovated and gives a feeling of tradition with modern conveniences. The smell of new tatami mats is intoxicating !

It would seem they've renovated this house to specifically cater to western guests who want to experience living a in local Tokyo neighbourhood. It's a mix of quality woodwork, traditional Japanese, and Ikea ;)

The hosts were excellent. You can tell they've spent time thinking of the things that will make your stay better. Besides all of the things you'll expect to enjoy, like comfortable beds, comforters, new amenities. It's things like good coffee, umbrellas, slippers, lighting, a personal visit with fruit, individual air conditioners are what truly sets them apart.

The neighbourhood is cool. It's very close to Tateishi station and gives the feeling of locals neighbourhood with nice yakitori stands, ramen shops, and good recommendations from the hosts.

In all, we stayed three weeks in Japan and our last three nights in this apartment. Knowing what we do now, next time we'll just try to stay most of our trip here if it's available.

Thank you K family for making your houses available, and truly knowing what hospitality is.
