I stayed Youko House for 4 nights with my wife and 6-year old daughter. Youko House gave us a truly pleasant experience. During this stay, I (a Japanese grown up in Tokyo) wanted to give my family from Ho Chi Minh City a real sense of how the living in Tokyo would look like. Youko House was a perfect solution to it.
Youko house is a 3-story house in which the first floor is dedicated to coin laundry facility (very convenient indeed). 2nd and 3rd floors are dedicated to guests. Very clean, well taken care of. We ended up using 2nd floor most of time, where kitchen, bath room, toilet, and a sleeping room with 6 tatamis (6畳間）are tidily packaged. The 2nd floor layout represents a typical small size apartment in Tokyo - very functional wasting no space. Every corner on the floor has a particular purpose. Though small, very comfortable. A full size gas-powered kitchen was very useful as we did cook real meals there. The tatami room was very convenient and gave us a sense of living in Japan.
It is located in the middle of quiet and typical Tokyo residential area for the commoner. With 2-3 min walk, there are a big supermarket (サミット）open till midnight and a big DIY shop (オリンピック）. Within 5 min walking radius, you will find all range of reasonably priced local restaurants.
Access to Tokyo city center and two airports (Narita and Haneda) is super good. It is close to Keisei Train line which has direct access to Narita, Haneda, Tokyo Sky Tree, and Ginza. Though Takeishi is relatively unknown and less glamorous from general tourist attraction point of view, it gives you all conveniences without any particular downside. I was happy to discover that.
Youko was very responsive and helpful. We are very thankful of her.
In a nutshell, we are happy guests!! Thank you Youko-san.
