I like that the apartment is near Tama river. It was a nice sight a day after the typhoon cleared up. On the way to the apartment from Hino station (JR Chuo line), you'll pass by a couple of convenience stores (Family Mart) and two supermarkets. Very convenient if you need food, toiletries etc. They have almost everything you need!
The walk from Hino station can be a little far for some and it is dark during night time so I would suggest to have someone with you unless you are ok to be alone. I was with another two friends, so it was alright for me.
As for the size of the apartment, some can find it small. We 3 had no problem, just that we had to figure out how to place our big luggages.
Overall we had a good stay at this apartment.
