My family recently spent 3 nights at the Tokyo Little House, and we were so happy that we did! It really is a special place. The house (it is the top floor, above a coffee shop downstairs that the owners also run) is small but impressively designed to maximize every inch, and renovated to retain the original look but be modern for today's needs. We were 2 adults and 3 children (ages 4-10), so the children slept comfortably on the futons. There were books and a few toys for the kids to play with too. The hosts were always fast to communicate, check-in and out was easy, and everyone was just lovely. We appreciated all their local tips for restaurants and visiting Tokyo, as well as the drinks when we arrived! Compared to a big hotel, this was so much more of a personal experience. The house belonged to the owners' grandparents, and their affection for the house and its history is clear. I had some initial concern that Akasaka wouldn't be a good location, but actually it was very convenient. The subway stops are within 5-10 of walking, and there are direct connections to Tokyo Station and Asakusa. We found it easy to get around from Akasaka. The area around the house is a bit loud and rowdy at night, however. There are plenty of restaurants within a few minutes of walking, but that also means you will hear street noise into the wee hours of the morning. The only other "negative" that I would call attention to are the stairs leading up to the apartment. They are very steep, and therefore I wouldn't recommend this place to people with very young children or to anyone who can not comfortably manage stairs. But my family really enjoyed our stay here, and we would highly recommend it! We would certainly stay there again!
