ATTENTION: YOU MIGHT DIE OF AWESOMENESS WHILE STAYING WITH THESE AWESOME PEOPLE. THE EXPERIENCE IS JUST TOO AWESOME!!! OK, what makes a home-stay an awesome one is the successfully answering the three questions: Who? Where? and What? Who: An awesome, fun, very friendly couple, and a the funniest ball of fluff of theirs (the Guinea Pig of course). Tomo and Alisha are very helpful, on our first day Alisha gave us tons of books and maps about sightseeing in and around Tokyo and how to get to each destination. There is usually someone home so if you have any question/problem there is always someone to ask. Communication is not a concern as long as you speak English or Japanese (Tomo is Japanese and Alisha is American). Where? Close to Asakusa station (20min walk, or 3mins bus ride), and Senso ji! Perfect to start your trips all around Tokyo. The house is very clean and beautiful and it has all what you need. What? Lots of awesomeness!! Fun chats in the evenings, playing with the guinea pig, making a ginger bread house, cooking authentic Moroccan/Mexican dishes, (shipping people?),.. all this and more are on the menu. Seriously.... go for it! do the booking... thank me later.

I would recommend this home-stay to anyone trying to explore Tokyo! The house itself is close to Machiya station (15mins walk) that connects you to all parts of Tokyo. Apart from having a nice location, the house also has everything you need (laundry, shower, and the keys is not an issue). You will get a very large room that accommodates two people with one bed and one futon. The room also includes a table, sofa, drawer and a mini fridge! The host family are very kind and extremely helpful (free pick-up, help with arranging trips, free transportation to the subway/train stations). Communication is not a problem since the couple do speak some English and their granddaughter is fluent in English. The food is very delicious!! We had the chance to eat new year's breakfast with them and it was an AWESOME experience. All in all, while staying at Momoko's place, you will feel just like home.. Now just go ahead and do the booking! どうもありがとうございます
