Jason is a wonderful person, kind and helpful and he really makes everybody feel at home. He even picked me up from the station and helped me with directions and shopping. Thank you so much!
The house is very clean and comfortable with real beds (which you will appreciate after sleeping on bumpy couches and thin futons on cold floors). Definitively a 5 star rating host and house!
It is close to Ikebukuro station which is very central and the way to the station is easy to find and very interesting with a small post office, a bakery, a „sakanaya“ (fish-shop), a supplier of ice-blocks (look for the ice pieces in the shrubs) and other small shops which you will not see in busy Shinjuku.
Next time I‘ll even sleep in the van if nothing else is vacant ;).
Thank you again – I really enjoyed my stay!
