This was probably the most convenient place I have ever stayed in Tokyo. I stayed in outskirts of Tokyo and Ginza area before. Hirotake’s place is in the center of Tokyo. There are many good restaurants around the place and they are inexpensive. Shimbashi Station has lines to get to major places around Tokyo in 25-40 mins. There are lines you can take straight to both Narita and Haneda Airports.
Hirotake kept his room nice and clean. The room might be small for some people but for this location I think the size was generous. We had 4 people and 5 large luggages in the room and we were fine. We didn’t feel cramped at all.
We like that there was a washing machine, and how the room were sectioned. We just wish there was a dryer or a laundry place nearby or someway we could dry the clothes and towels. Tokyo was pretty humid when we visited. I think it would have been perfectly fine in winter with the heater on.
All in all, I would stay at Hirotake’s place again. Great place. Great host.
