Aki is the perfect host and we had a lovely stay. The room is a beautiful traditional Japanese space with futons, tatami mats and sliding paper walls. There is a chest of draws and a desk with tea and coffee facilities, plus chocolate! The bathrooms are clean and modern. Beware that futons are not big cushy mattresses! We were quite comfortable but some may find them hard. It was definitely made up for with big poofey duvets, fluffy towels (with oragami cranes on top!) and a homey atmosphere. There is another room for rent in Aki's home, right next door to this one, be aware that you will be able to hear your neighbours, the walls are "paper" thin! Haha
A ten minute walk through the lovely tree-lined street will get you to a train station and then some of the coolest neighbourhoods are only around 10 minutes on the train.
Check-in was very easy, the key was made available to us and Aki waited for our arrival even though we got in very late! Aki answered all my questions promptly before check-in and was available during our stay to help with anything we needed, even did our laundry one day!
I would highly recommend staying here! Thanks Aki :)
