Keiko was the ultimate hostess as other reviewers reported. She helped us find the place during our arrival when it was late in the night and rainy. Not only did she bring us umbrellas, she helped us push our luggage. She was also responsive to all my questions and helped us with out trip, e.g. she helped us secure luggage and empty our garbage cans. She is the ultimate host as she brought us gifts throughout the trips. As for location, it's right next to the subway and a walking distance from some of the top sights.
