Daisuke is a rockstar! It was very clear why he is a super host. We had booked JR passes that got lost en route to our accommodation and Daisuke was so helpful in making sure they got to our air bnb. We arrived later in the afternoon to Tokyo and with his instructions were able to find the apartment no problem.
Shimo-Kitazawa was a whimsical neighborhood - a lot of restaurants and shops, and locals. It did not feel touristy at all. With that said - Daisuke's Place was close to the train station but also in the mix of the neighborhood that it felt like we lived there.
The apartment itself is very clean and comfortable with the temperpedic mattress, full kitchen supplies, and HEATED toilet. The toilet was fantastic!
Daisuke provided snacks and drinks for our stay which is very thoughtful and much appreciated as we got in late that day. We had trouble with the microwave and he was able to let himself in the next day while we were out, and fixed it. That was reassuring that he was nearby if we needed any help.
Fantastic neighborhood. Above average accommodations and communicative host. I would definitely stay here again.
