Josie and her family were lovely and did everything they could to make us comfortable as guests. She picked us up from the station and offered us tea and crackers upon our arrival. She also has a dog who is extremely friendly with all guests.
In terms of location, the townhouse can be a bit difficult to find, as it sits in a complicated grid that's chock full of similar residences. Because of this, I was extremely thankful that Josie picked us up from the station and gave us tips on how to remember where we were.
The place is located very close to Tokyo Skytree, and there are also many small izakayas and eateries nearby. A very quiet and suburban area with fewer tourists, which was nice. As for proximity to public transit, it's about a 15 minute walk. Not bad, especially if you stop by the amazing bakery called Kameya on the way.
Thank you for a lovely stay, Josie! We are thankful to your family for your hospitality.
