Yuri's place is in a quiet place in Shibuya area, yet close to a lot of action; there are many restaurants and a Lawson convenient store around the corner. The communication was excellent. My family is from the US, so we appreciated the easy walk to the train station. This is a traditional home with some extra comforts...plenty of toilets/shower with soap/shampoo provided. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and there was a teapot as well. It was chilly during our stay and not all the rooms have individual heaters (just the bedrooms and dining area have them), so it was cold in the morning and once the sun went down as we waited for the heaters to warm up...so bring a warm robe or lounging jacket...we used the slippers provided at the front door for our feet. FYI for Westerners, there is no "family room" to lounge in, only sitting at the dining table as the main gathering area. Beds were very comfortable, showers were great.
