I was made to feel very welcome, all the contact made ahead of my arrival (which was slightly more complicated than the norm.) was in good time. Directions were very clear and the tour of Ron and Tadaaki's home was really comprehensive. The information about city attractions and great places to eat, plus a few tips on special events and do's and don't were thoughtful and proved to be incredibly helpful. I tried a restaurant recommendation, which was great! The flat is immaculate, quirky and located in a fabulous part of the city. I really appreciated a private bathroom and a quiet bedroom, especially since I stayed during one of the biggest festivals of the year! This was a home from better than home! Highly, highly recommended.
