The location of the guest house is very good. It's just 3 minutes walk to the train station and very close to the Ueno park and a few fantastic museums. There are also a lot of eating places within walking distance. There is a TV downstairs and we managed to watch the world cup final live (although in Japanese) :-).
One thing to note is the guest house is relatively big (especially compared to the guest house we stayed in Kyoto). But the problem came with this is it's quite cold in the winter night even we turn on the heating function on the aircon.
