Keiko and Kako were so easy to be around. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet yet a very short walk to lots of shops and restaurants. There is "mud park" nearby if you have a kiddo who needs some free play with tools. And a kids bicycle rental and track at Yoyogi park. The living arrangements are slightly different that pictured, there is a privacy screen across the middle of the living room, giving you a private space outside of the room and the cats cages are in the kitchen. You do have to like cats as there are four, one free and the other three live in cages:) They were a little noisy in the mornings but we were up early anyways. Having Kaiko make breakfast is very nice if you're up early. The neighborhood gets a late startout a lot of food options or coffee before 9. Kaiko was very often around if we needed anything and so warm and generous. It was a great start to our travels.
