I immensely enjoyed staying at Ryo's place in Hatagaya. It is so convenient to mass transit and situated well between two main transportation hubs - Shibuya and Shinjuku. It is also just a 10 min walk to the New National Theatre/Opera Palace for drama, dance and opera. I stayed alone in Ryo's place, and it was a cozy space for me. Prepared my own bkfst and lunch, but ate dinner out each day; great two burner stove (induction). I will stay again in Hatagaya and at Ryo's, lovely 2 week experience for me as a first timer in TO.
