Kentaro’s place was perfect for our small family. The perfect distance from several stations that serviced multiple key Tokyo rail lines. Small shops could be found all through the neighbourhood, and big shopping centres were only a walk away.
The apartment was very clean and bright, and very accessible (we had a stroller with us). The tatami mat room was the perfect Japanese touch, and tied the place together well. We used the gas appliances to cook food from the local markets, and would watch Japanese news on the TV. The pocket wifi was the perfect touch to allow us to roam the city and stay connected (helpful for Maps and Translate from Google).
Kentaro himself was the perfect host. Always responding to questions as soon as possible, and going above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We asked where to find diapers, and he called around to a couple supermarkets to ensure stock. He was also able to arrange the reservation of a taxi to get us back to the airport at the end of our trip. We met him a few times in the building, and he was always cheery and helpful. Excellent host!
