Highly recommended place for any Tokyo visitor - lovely apartment, fantastic host and superb location. D really goes out of his way to provide info on all travel essentials and endless recommendations for the local neighbourhood. We felt well looked after throughout our stay. Shimo-Kitazawa is a great neighbourhood to stay in - close enough to Shinjuku/Shibuya etc but also far away enough to escape the madness and feel part of a local neighbourhood with plenty of places to eat and drink.
