Description and pictures are accurate and hosts are very helpful and kind! The layout (a separate bedroom in addition to the tatami room) is useful for family travel. The tatami room is quite pretty (looks as pictured!). Everyone loved the tub. Ota-ku is fairly secluded, so be prepared to _go_ somewhere for most things travelers may want (restaurants, coffee shops, sightseeing). There is a large grocery store just a few blocks away, which was quite helpful. Omorimachi station is an easy walking distance from the apartment (though maybe not for your first trip in, if you have a lot of suitcases!); with a few train changes, you can get around most of Tokyo.
