Quiet neighborhood and conveniently located near train/bus/stores. Sho provides great directions and house manual so you know how to operate household items. There are areas that could be updated but it is a basic place to stay. Also, very narrow stairs so carrying up your luggage will be a challenge and tiring (we were on the 3rd floor). I'm going to stick to hotels as that is my level of comfort. It is an older building meaning the unit is dated (be warned - the bathroom was very cold) but our stay there will be remembered as part of our experience.
