Yoshi-san is an amazing host who is also very responsive and friendly. His place has a fantastic toy / movie memorabilia collection, which lends it a quirky air. It was more spacious than we expected (always a good thing) with loads of amenities. General area is super convenient with the nearby metro only a 5-10min walk and Nakano (which links to most rail lines for us) only a ~15min walk away. The neighbourhood is wonderful with loads of places to eat at as well as convenience stores - and while it is a very local and quiet area, we didn't feel unsafe as we walked back at very late hours. Thanks for the wonderful experience!
