My partner and I had a fantastic time in Tokyo as hosted by Maiko. The place isn't too far from public transport (and it's a nice walk!) and the nippon-toneri liner is a really easy rail to catch into Nippori which is connected to the JR Yamanote line. Maiko was such a good host - we accidentally locked our keys in our room at a ridiculous hour and Maiko responded within minutes to help us with a spare! Maiko also helped us store some bulky luggage. We were so grateful for her quick responses and hospitality. We will stay with her again next time we are in Japan (which hopefully won't be too far away!!)
