We really enjoyed our stay at Tsukasa san's home in Kichijoji. First, the location cannot be beat. Kichijoji is an excellent neighborhood to be a tourist - tons of restaurants and shops, little massage centers, a beautiful park and lake and all of Tokyo minutes away by the train line that goes through Kichijoji. Tsukasa san's home is right in the middle of all of this, but also a little quiet on the edge of a kids park :)
Most importantly the home was clean and comfortable. Tsukasa san and his partner, Su, met us as the train station to take us to the home. Their communication was impeccable and they gave us privacy but were communicative when needed. They also helped us set up the rest of our trip! Giving us tips and ideas about the rest of the Japan travels. The hair dryer was not working well and I sent them a message and within about two minutes another was at our door. Su san even brought us back to the station when we left insisting to help with a bag. I consider this an amazing experience that exemplifies Japanese culture. Gus and I would love to stay here again.
The home is modest and simple, like a regular Japanese apartment. It is not grand, but comfortable and clean - just perfect for two people but would be tight for three :)
