Our short stay at Aki's home was very good. Aki was amazingly helpful with suggestions for public transportation to and from her place, and many other helpful tips. Check in was easy, and her directions from her local train station were good. The room was very clean and nicely equipped. It was a bit small for 3, but we managed quite nicely. It is a somewhat far from most of the main train stations, and on a private line, and it took a while to get to her house from Tokyo station, but if you have the time, the price can't be beat!
