This was an excellent place to stay for a trip to Tokyo. We would definitely recommend it for other travelers and we will try and book it for our next visit to the city. Takashi & Shiho's place was clean and comfortable but, most importantly for us, was in a perfect location. It was only a two minute from the JR train line (a few stops away Shinjuku) and a 10/15 minute walk from the metro station so easy access to all of Tokyo's neighborhoods. We also really liked the immediate neighborhood, Koenji, with it's many little eateries, interesting shops, and laid back vibe (and frankly we liked the fact that there were hardly any other tourists around this part of town). This is a great value for a stay in Tokyo, the hosts were very communicative, and as stated above, the location was perfect.
