Daisuke was a great and informative host. The apartment was cozy and in a great location in Shimokitazawa. Just know that Shimokitazawa is kind of a party area, can get noisy at early hours of the morning. It was within walking distance to just about anything you would need. This includes a Lawson, an Ozeki Supermarket, a Primary Care clinic with english speaking staff, clothing shops (check out UTA, the guy working the shop was awesome and rocking out to some Dschinghis Khan!), arcades, record shops, a hip Village Vanguard, the train station, and most importantly for chilly fall weather delicious ramen and a Coco Ichibanya (tasty curry chain found all over Tokyo). Would highly recommend it if you're looking to stay in an area that has character and a lively nightlife.
