Haruko’s house is in a beautiful, residential neighborhood of Tokyo, about 30 mins to Shibuya and Harajuku door-to-door. The room is very basic (a bit more basic than the photos let on) but Haruko’s hospitality is unparalleled. She always makes coffee and tea and a scrumptious breakfast in the morning! She does not speak English but she has a translation device. That plus google translate will make the stay work! The shower is nice and there is a great hairdryer (no need to bring your own). Haruko will also do laundry for you! I had a great time and can’t wait to return. A fun tidbit is that Haruko was featured in the 2015 New York Times magazine article about Airbnb in Tokyo!
