We loved staying at the house in Sendagi. We were welcomed by Hisae and she explained the amenities of the house very well. It is such a lovely experience to have your own place in the city, rather than a hotel room, and we really enjoyed coming back to the house after looking around Tokyo during the day, it felt like home immediately. There are plenty of cafes about, a couple of convenience stores within a 30 second walk and heaps of other restaurants too. Yanaka Ginza is a 10 minute walk, and we found ourselves walking through it most days to Nippori Station since we had JR Passes. We were using the Yamanote Line from there around all the big city stops. Around the house we bumped into local Nezu Shrine, which was cute and peaceful and a nice surprise. We spent time at Ueno too, it's close by, and the zoo was fun. Almost everything about the house is cool and functional. The only suggestion we'd make would be to think about a curtain or blind on the main sleeping floor, as we were having late nights and were then being waken up by the sun, not much chance of a sleep in. But that was no major ordeal. Thanks again for hosting us, we had a great experience.
