Very cosy house; feels like living like a local! 7 min walk to either JR station or Mito line subway. Very easy to get to Shinjuku or to Tokyo station. The house is very clean, and with lots of space. Yes, the stairs are steep and the bathroom is downstairs, so a bit of a pain to go down anytime you need to use the toilet. Overall we had a great stay :)
PS. If your're staying over three days, I would highly recommend buying the Metro 3-day pass to use the subway.
