Yuka' place is clean and located in a safe area. The location of the house allowed us to feel that we were actually a part of the community. There is convenient grocery shopping and restaurants near by. The best feature for us was the location of the house relative to transportation options. The home itself has two toilets (unusual for Japan, in our search for places); one, on the first floor, and one on the second floor. The living areas are a little small, but workable if you have a family of 4 or 5. Access to the futon beds on the third level would be challenging for anyone with bad knees or who might be a little heavy. There is a set of "attic" like stairs that lead to the third level, suitable for kids, and ambulatory adults of modest proportions. :) The kitchen area isn't really meant for making extensive meals, but it is adequate if you want to make a light breakfast or a quick meal. There is essentially one face bowl in the house, and the shower is a little small. All that said, the place is super functional, and the comfortable. there were 5 of us, and we stayed there for a week, and had a very enjoyable time. Yuka is very responsive, and helpful when we needed it, which was not very often. Overall, i say this is great place for small family (kids who are 6/7 and up) and couples, and for those interested in getting a good feel for living in a Tokyo neighborhood. we would highly recommend Yuka's place.
