We came to Asakusa to spend a relaxed few days in a traditional area of Tokyo. Tony was a great host, providing a wealth of local knowledge and helpful hand-drawn maps. The apartment is very quiet and peaceful and close to all the interesting local sights. There is a new supermarket only 30 seconds walk from the apartment which is very convenient and plenty of restaurants nearby.
Asakusa is a wonderful place, with the temple area, surrounding shops, Skytree and amusement park all within walking distance. I recommend it.
