Namio's place (301) was great! A nice, clean apartment at a good location, about a 5 minute walk from Nezu station. It is also not too long a walk to Ueno Park/Station and Nippori Station. The neighborhood is surprisingly cozy and quiet. Nezu Shrine is in a really nice park nearby and definitely worth a visit!
Communication with Namio was great. He replies quickly and lives in the same building should you need him for anything. He also gave us some great local tips including a great local place to have breakfast and other tips about local delicacies.
Thanks, Namio! We would definitely stay with you again!
