Hiroko's place is awesome. If you've been looking at hotels around Tokyo and the idea of paying $250/night for a closet sized room and staying in what essentially amounts to Times Square of Tokyo (Shibuya or Shinjuku) isn't all that appealing, then this is the spot for you. Plenty of room, including a separate sitting/tv area and small kitchen. You're only a 5 minute walk to the heart of Shimokitazawa with plenty of awesome restaurants and great drinking spots. Shinjuku and Shibuya are fun neighborhoods to hangout in and are must visits for any Tokyo trip, but being a very short subway ride away was plenty close for us to enjoy them, but also get away from them when you wanna slow down. Some of our favorite spots in Shimokitazawa were Bar Ghetto for divey late night drinks, Little Soul Cafe for drinks with some great records spinning, cafe&bar Ten for cocktails and whisky, Shirubee for an izakaya dinner, and Ramen Kuwajima for ramen (obviously). If that sounds like your kind of spot, then I can not recommend Hiroko's place enough. We've used Airbnb all over the US and the world, and this is definitely one of our favorite spots.
