Eri is a great host with excellent response time on all of my questions. Check in was a breeze and he was very accommodating if we needed early check-in, etc (which we did not, but it was offered). There were some fruit and pastries on the table which was a nice touch. The house was much smaller and more dated than the photos lead me to believe, however it is clean and has 2 bedrooms plus a toilet upstairs which is a rare find in Tokyo. We stayed in Feb and it was extremely cold when we arrived but the upstairs bedrooms were nice and warm once we turned the heat on. The downstairs area remained pretty cool but this is as expected with older homes in Japan. The neighborhood is great, and I wished we had more time to explore it!
