Ran's place was easy to get from the train station (we walked, though it was a good workout with luggage), and was quite central. Loved being able to just hop on the bus, and even visit the park across the street. The room was good and perfect for our needs, as we knew we'd be out and about most of the time and spending little time in the place. But we were able to meet Ran and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about things to check out.
