Près SHIBUYA quartier assez résidentiel

It was very difficult to make the payment in yen through the options provided by Toshiro. It ended up costing $55 more due to the value of yen increasing each day. Also, I spent many hours trying to satisfy his requirements.
This is not a place to stay if you're looking for culture and food as part of the home visit (I had experienced that in other countries.) This homestay was more like staying in a hotel. The apartment is comfortable and in a nice section of outer Tokyo. Toshiro was quick to answer my questions (we never met Tanya).

My son Yik Keet had a wonderful 35 nights homestay with the host Toshiro & Tanya in Setagaya ku, Tokyo, Japan. Both of them the are lovely and warm couple. We are very touched by their kind gesture, they bought precious gift for my son from their holiday trip. My son didn't feel staying in the stranger's house. Instead, he enjoyed staying in their cosy and beautiful house. The location of the house is convenient for us to take bus from Shibuya station. 5 minutes walk from bus stop to their house. The surrrounding evironment of their house is exclusive which gives an expression that we are staying in the resort. The house is big and quiet which is an excellent accommodation for my son. The toilet and bathroom are big and clean - handwash cream, towels (big and medium) toothrush, disposal cups etc are available. The host maintains the guest's room neat and clean. All essential items such as mini fridge, microwave oven, kettle, coffee, tea-bags, cutlery, cups and dishes are provided. Tanya does help the guest for laundry but we didn't get her help. My son sleeps very well every night as the bed is big and comfortable. He can adjust the room temperture to his comfort level. The only problem is the unstable WIFI connectivity but this is not a big problem. My son will come back to Tokyo next year 2025 (end Mar to June). He definitely wants to come back to stay in the house hosted by Toshiro and Tanya. We would appreciate they could reserve a big room for my son's next stay.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Toshiro and Tanya

I enjoyed my brief stay with Toshiro and Tanya. I mainly interacted with Toshiro and his English was very good, therefore we could have a flowing conversation. Their home is beautiful with a relaxing living area and impressive dining table and chandelier. The toilet and bathroom were tiled and kept extremely clean. The bed was comfortable and the room/bed sheets had a pleasant aroma. There was a TV and air con in the room, both worked well . Additionally, coffee, a kettle, bottled water, cutlery, cups and dishes are also available in the bedroom. Towels and a toothbrush were given although I used my own. I appreciated these extra touches. The only main problem was that the WiFi was inconsistent in the bedroom. Maybe the router is further away and the signal needs boosting. I only stayed for 12 hours over night but would definitely go back. They have a very pleasant interior. Finally, their place is well located for walks or train journeys around Tokyo.

Toshiro picked us up from the Airport we had a little nice talk and our room was perfect for the two off us. I think Tanya cleaned the room every morning when we were gone and left us always some fresh towels. The house was very beautiful and they also have a really nice dog that I could look at for a few minutes. The position of this Homestay is perfect because you can almost walk to Shibuya and there is a little "district" called "Shimokitazawa" and the place is so much FUN! I ate so much ramen there and went to the local pubs and we met a lot of nice people there too. We walked a few times from Shibuya to their home it was like a 35 min walk because we wanted to look at everything and we also found some free stuff on the way to Shibuya so it was totally worth it. In the surrounding you can visit a local park called "Komaba" I think and schools. If you want to go to the supermarket there a tons of near the home so I can't really say anything negative. The only problem we had was the that the Wi-Fi sometimes disconnected but that was no big problem. I really hope we can come to Tokyo again and visit Toshiro and Tanya again. Thank you very much Toshiro and Tanya.
