Meiko-san is a wonderful host that really cares about her visitors comfort. Her place is exactly as seen in the pictures, clean and charming. It's located in a residential area just a short walk from Hatagaya stn. on the Keio New Line. The location puts you just two stops from Shinkuku Station, and from there a stop or two from Harajuku and Shibuya. In my 3 day stay it worked out well as a place I could come back to mid-day to drop things off, change, etc. You'll be in a residential neighborhood and in Japan that means respect quiet hours, this is not a party place. Traveller hotels in Tokyo tend to be tiny and for the price Meiko-san's place offers great value. Lots of Kombini and stores nearby and be sure and check out the main shopping / dining street a couple blocks to the east, esp. at night. Also Ramen Taketora just south of Hatagaya stn. is definitely worth a visit. Fantastic ramen in a little neighborhood place with an english menu and super friendly staff!
