Indeed. At least two 3-star (by good Japanese standards), "SunRoute" and 
"Washington" I can tell you about around the complex. Prepare for JPY10k 
/ day plus if you get lucky though.

Ah! Don't tell fellow Briton that. I respectfully disagree.

I do Big Sight exhibitions once a year and the crowded commute is part 
of the Tokyo experience for a much more interesting evening and beyond 
elsewhere.

I would very much learn about his findings on the AirBnB side of things. 
I may or may not review then my sense that AirBnB isn't particularly "a 
good deal" in Tokyo.

Best,
