Yuko’s place was located quite close to Hirai train station (about 5-7 mins walk away). The value was great for the location, however keep in mind the space is very small! We were lucky to have enough space (2 people) to maneuver about the apartment and have a place to pack our luggage, however if traveling with more people this would be a serious hindrance. The apartment itself is on the third floor (first 2 floors are also rentals) and it allowed for a lot of natural light to flow in. The ceiling was also higher since we were on the last floor. Just a heads up the walls are quite thin and often we could hear our neighbours talking, even if they weren’t very loud. But all in all for the price this was definitely a good deal for what you get!
