I’d just like to say a big thank you to David, his wife Amanda, and their two lovely children for making my stay in Tokyo so rewarding. I was only in Japan for three weeks, and was out of Tokyo for a couple of weekends, but David and Amanda’s hospitality, advice and guidance made my stay feel much more homely than just a string of tourist trips. Amanda’s cooking is also very good, which was a real bonus 

I have some allergies, and David and Amanda were very understanding about these, which made my life a lot easier, as did Amanda’s help in finding places for me to buy some of the British foods I usually eat on a regular basis (though I ate Japanese most of the time).

Musashi-Koyama is a nice place to stay in itself, but just as importantly for me, it was quick and easy to get into central Tokyo by train - Meguro station is just a few minutes up the line, and getting around the Yamanote line to places like Shibuya, Shinjuku and Akihabara was no problem at all, and really cheap. Just as quick was Shinagawa, for the Shinkansen lines down to the south of Japan, which I used a couple of times.

All in all, I’m very happy to recommend a stay with David, Amanda and their two children – they’re a lovely family: helpful, welcoming and friendly!
