I am so lucky to have booked Hisao-san's place for my stay. I stayed for 10days there and there is nothing bad I could say about it. The place was really clean and very comfortable for a solo traveler like me, and the neighborhood was very charming and peaceful. You would really have an authentic experience on how Japanese live. The location is very convenient since it is located a few leisurely minutes walk from a YR Yamanote line (if you're a tourist, this is the most important line as this gives you access to all major tourist destinations). Wifi is fast and there are lots of 24/7 convenience stores and restaurants in the neighborhood. Hisao-san and his wife, Naomi, are very accommodating and kind. They speak little english, but I never had any problems about it. I even joined in the Kendo practice and made friends with the other kendo students when I shared dinner and had a drinking party with them after the practice. It was so fun! And even though it is not part of the booking, Naomi never fails to make me a really delicious sandwich (along with many different breakfast/snack items she put in a goody bag) every single morning. If you're a tourist on a budget, that would really save you some bucks. For the price point of this booking, you would really think that it is too good to be true. Honestly, I had my apprehensions too (like maybe a bad neighborhood, long hard walk to station, or ghosts?!? Lol), but those are all just my imagination, and I experienced nothing but only good things during my stay. I found my 10days still too short to explore Tokyo and I am craving to come back there soon. Hisao-san's wife even had a parting gift for me when I left. I think they just like meeting new people and making them feel at home in their awesome country that is Japan. Til next time!
