Keiko is a kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable host. She went out of her way to help us and make us feel welcome. She gave us a lot of advice about the local area and beyond. Keiko’s place is authentic Japanese living - futons, tatami mats, zaisu and low table. It also has everything you need for a family stay - washer/dryer, low beds for the kids, Western style dining table, pots, pans, hairdryer etc etc. She has everything you could need. The apartment was very secure - three doors to unlock before entering and a video intercom! 30 second walk to the Metro, restaurants all around and a 24hr supermarket across the road. We recommend and would stay again!
