Aki was a great host, hospitable and gracious. The room was spacious and I like the old Japanese style sleeping on the comfortable mattress on the floor. The house is located away from hustle and bustle central Tokyo in a sweet small safe town called Meguro but it is a short subway ride to Shinbuya and Shinjuku. Once you get used to the complex but sophisticated Tokyo subway system you will get used to the commute which was not too bad for me.
