Shi's place was wonderful. All the comforts of home, plus the Japanese toilet seats! Shi was very responsive to my messages. We arrived early and he was fine with us checking in early as the place had been cleaned. The living room area is comfy and the kitchen was stocked with coffee, creamers and tea. The futons and linens are high quality and extremely comfortable. There is an awesome grocery store a block or two away (five minute walk). Their sushi is better than what I get at suchi restaurants in the US! Love the neighborhood too! Ten minute walk to subway and about 15 minute walk from the popular Asakusa area, full of restaurants, shops and the Sensoji Temple. We recommend the restaurant "groin groin". We look forward to coming back! Thank you Shi!
