Jason offered to pick me up at the station and walk me to his house in the middle of his schedule, though my schedule didn't allow me to meet him in the beginning; his housemate Roddy welcomes me with a drink, showed me around the house and gave a great food recommendation. The actual place was better than the already great listing description, the neighborhood is safe and it is in close proximity to the lively Ikebukuro. Great listing, great host and great experience.
