The house is new and very clean, and has a 'high-tech' feel to it. Our room, blankets, sheets were clean and the floor mattress was comfortable despite it is not a western style "raised bed". We stayed in a guest room next to the front entrance on the first floor. We were given keys to the back-door of the house because the host did not have spare keys for the front door, the only inconvenience with the back door is the tiny alley we had to walk through when it is raining.

There is a toilet on the first floor with no shower. The shower is on the 2nd floor in the main living area (living room/kitchen); we did feel a little shy about using shower while the hosts are in the living area (dining/watching tv). If you shower late (~11pm) make sure you learn the light switches. The hosts are energy-conscious (which is good for the planet) and we often find ourselves trying to navigate to the staircase in complete darkness.

The house is a couple min walk to the Senju-ohashi train station, we found it fairly convenient as there are many metro and JR lines accessible from Ueno (which is also on Keisei line).

The hosts were friendly but we did not interaction much.
