We loved staying in Asukusa. The neighborhood is full of character and history and we'll recommend it to friends in the future. We loved walking through Senso-ji to and from the station, day and night, but also the walk along the Sumida river, and Hoppy Street. The flat had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and getting acclimated to Tokyo. Easy access to many parts of the city and the airports. We especially appreciated that Takeshi dropped off a picnic tarp and chairs when we wanted to hanami in Ueno. We didn't want to leave at the end of the week.
