This 100 year old Samurai house is in a very quiet neighborhood with access to everything in Tokyo. I truly enjoyed walking the neighborhood and navigating the crazy curved and dead end Japanese streets. Subways, restaurants and markets are all close enough.
The house itself is for the backpacker type traveler. The low ceilings were a constant challenge for me (6’1’ / 185cm). The precarious staircase would not be for older travelers unless they are very sure of foot. The sleeping arrangements are more like camping with similares levels of comfort. The single bathroom upstairs means many trips up and down the ski-ramp, errrrr, I mean staircase. Cleanliness was not at the top of the list for this host. Floors, bedding, couch, were filthy.
All-in-all, I enjoyed my stay. The quality is backpacker ready. Price is dirt cheap. You get what you pay for.
