Haruko is a fantastic host, warm kind and cordial. She makes excellent breakfast for your and give advice on where to go and how to commute in Tokyo.

The house is about 6-8 minutes walk from Jiyugaoka station, which has direct train to Shibuya, Shinjuku etc, very convenient. Jiyugaoka is actually an excellent place to go around. It has great shops and restaurants around the subway station, and I personally find it convenient to just be there rather than the hectic shopping places of Shibuya/Shinjuku.

The environment of the house, and the walk towards the subway station is a great experience itself.

Cons: the room is a bit small for 2-3 people (especially after you've done all those shoppings). It's best for one person. However, Haruko provides all sorts of help including letting you put the luggage at the corridor outside the room.
