Toshi san’s family house is very clean and comfortable. Location is superb, very close to metro station so easy access to east part of Tokyo. 10-15min walk to “real Asakusa” (or take the bus right in front of the door), full of nice local restaurants/izakaya, also can enjoy walking along the Sumida river.
Didn’t gave chance to speak to the host family, which was a pity, but also proves that you can keep fair amount of privacy and independence here.
The room is spacious enough for solo travel, and equipped with all basic amenities, even cooking pots and utensils. I stayed for a week, but could totally imagine staying here for a month without too much inconvenience. Air conditioner is particularly nice and cools down the entire room fairly quickly, which really helped in Tokyo’s horrible summer.
One thing about room2 though, is the windows face directly to the blocks that right next to the building, hence could be dark in daytime if you don’t turn on the light all the time - also can be a little bit depressing if you are used to openness.
Toilet is private (out of the room tho), shower shared. Both clean and tidy. The bathmats are supposed to be separated by rooms, but i guess the notes can be made more obvious so ppl don’t miss out or mistake (Same for other notes like “please lock the door”).
In general, very much enjoyed the stay, and will consider come again if need to stay around Asakusa next time.
