Mas was an incredible host -- with an incredible apartment! He met us warmly with great directions to meet him from Narita airport, gave us a tour of the place and quickly was on his way. He was the perfect balance of accessible and giving us space, throwing a few suggestions our way (that always hit the mark) and being easy to contact when we needed a thing or two. He also had a great book of clear instructions for all the amenities in the apartment, and nearby great restaurants.

The apartment itself is incredibly cozy and warm, and we did indeed feel like we had a real home in Tokyo, buying little breakfast things to keep in the fridge and drinks to keep cool and take with us on our travels during the day -- and listening to the awesome sound system or watching great Japanese TV. I would tell anyone to stay here for a short or longer term visit (the neighborhood is both home-y and well traveled, with a mix of bustle and calm), and will hopefully return myself again some day. Thank you, Mas!!

Oh -- just one thing on the gorgeous bathroom that is encased in almost clear glass -- let me just say my boyfriend and I became even closer on this trip! We found it fun and charming to be so intimate (with a pretty clear view of one another while we were in the bathroom), so probably best to take this place with someone you are very close to, or want to be closer with, as there isn't much privacy in the beautiful, and well appointed space!

Thank you again for a great six days, Mas!!!
