If you're looking to stay in a traditional home in Tokyo that has survived for over 100 years, this is the house for you. It's also in a quiet residential neighborhood, walkable to Ueno Park (large park with lots of museums and the zoo) and Yanaka ("Old Town" Tokyo) with lots of temples. Best of all, you're a 5-minute walk to Uguisudani Station on the Yamanoate and Keihintohoku JR lines (18 mins from Tokyo Station). It's a bit of a walk to Senso-ji (22 mins) but we did it and it was a nice walk.

Pros:
* Traditional Japan living with mats on the floor to sleep
* Great neighborhood with attractions within walking distance
* Close to JR lines
* Washer and dryer
* Snacks (loved the grapes) in the fridge
* Suggested walking tour by Kota on his map
* Wifi hotspot
* Toto automatic toilet with built-in badet and seat warmer
* Lovely view out of the upstairs bedroom

Cons:
* A bit musty
* Not great for tall people. You have to remember to duck around the beams but I'm 6' and had no problem standing in the rooms.
* Sleeping mats were pretty thin but we stacked them and it was fine. If you've got a lot of people sleeping there, you may want to ask Kota for more mats.
* Curtains are basically just for privacy so bring an eye mask if you're sensitive to light.

Overall I would recommend Kota's house if you want a unique Japanese experience. Make sure to ask him for a ramen recommendation!
