After a long day walking around Tokyo and enjoying the sights, there is no better feeling than coming home--and that's what it felt like to stay in Taeko's place; home. Taeko and her husband were warm, kind and considerate, and the space they had for us was comfortable, convenient and very welcoming. The house contained everything we needed and Taeko surprised us twice with delicious pastries! Not only that, but we enjoyed what time we spent in her company too. These are great people with an amazing space. Everything was sparkling clean and easy to use with any Japanese appliances clearly labeled in English. Taeko also supplies handy maps and recommendations of where to eat and shop in the area. We felt warmly welcomed and eagerly look forward to staying in Taeko's home again in the future--it was a little bittersweet to leave!
