Takeshi's home is a quick walk to Sensoji temple--meaning you can go early morning or late evening and skip the crowds. It's not another five minutes from there to Asakusa station, either. Plus he's an excellent host; set up the kotatsu for us even though it wasn't particularly cold outside (I love kotatsu), and recommended we visit one of the biggest festivals in Japan. It was perfectly spacious for three people. Would highly recommend!
