Etsuko is such a wonderful host. She’s incredibly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. I love the fact that she was always willing to help me make the most of my time in Japan. I felt very welcome during my whole stay.
The neighborhood was quiet, a nice contrast to how busy Tokyo can get during the day. The home itself was delightful for longer stays, well-equipped with all necessities. All the rooms were wide so there’s no narrow spaces outside of the bathroom. Definitely room for several larger suitcases. I really appreciated the fact the living room and bedroom areas were separate so that I could do things without disturbing anyone who’s sleeping. For those who care, the two beds were really comfortable and not just a futon.
Cooks who are interested in trying local/new ingredients rejoice! She’s got a kettle, rice cooker, fridge with dedicated freezer, hot plate and mini oven ;) All in all, I highly recommend this home and would like to stay here again in the future~
