Staying in Hiroko's apartment was great! The location is perfect and we walked pretty much everywhere. The apartment is small and definitely good for those who are comfortable with who they are staying with as there is little privacy. It was perfect for college students/friends. Keep in mind that it is a 5th floor walk up and lots of stairs! :) Hiroko was great about responding, very friendly and met us at the apartment. Overall, great trip and a nice, clean place to stay!
