Maiko's home is an enjoyable and sight-worthy 30 minute subway ride from the more touristy parts of Tokyo. The walk from the subway to her home is about fifteen minutes along a well paved and lit sidewalk. For those that might have trouble finding the place, it is a few feet away from a McDonalds. It's part of what I would call a suburb of Tokyo, in that it's not super busy, plus it feels very safe, like virtually all of Tokyo.
Maiko was extremely supportive when I asked her for directions to her place, giving me a step by step instruction on how to get there from the airport, as well as her address in Japanese. The room feels like a hotel, a packet of information lying on the desk as soon as you walk in. The room itself is small, but it comfortably sleeps two. There is also a kitchen with anything one might need.
I want to emphasize how clean and professional the place is. Maiko and her husband clearly care about their business and put effort into ensuring people are satisfied. Both the bathroom and shower room are spotless. I would highly recommend Maiko's home to anyone visiting. Well worth the price and a great value from top to bottom.
