We really enjoyed the stay at the place of David, Amanda and their children.

Their kids were just a little older than our son and it was so nice to see them playing together. S-chan and Y-kun were very kind and shared their toys and books with our son - they played, had some fight about some toys, saw TV together etc.

We had an unique opportunity to spend the New Year together. The two families were gathered around a big table, and invited each other for some food and had a very good time !

David and Amanda are very easy, cheerful and friendly people and this is a definitely a place we'd like to come back to again. They are very understanding about how a couple traveling with kids think/behave which made it so easy for us.

The location is very good if for experiencing everyday life of Japan but close to many places for a city life. If you are not afraid of long walks, Shubuya and Jiyugaoka are can be reached within 1 hour of walking (we did).

If you wish to cook, it's good to exchange some words with Amanda/David in advance so the "kitchen slot" and the use of utensils (such as use of rice cooker) won't collide.
