Aileen's place is spotless, compact but everything we needed was there, very quiet neighborhood. If you take metro, as long as using A3 exit, it's not much of a walk, easy access to north east of Tokyo.
I would recommend 1-3 day pass for Tokyo metro + subway (3day pas is only $15, so worth it!) only available at airport (or some travel agency - but they charge processing fee of about $18.) I'm writing this because we
discovered it after we left the airport... We had a day pass purchased at the station ($9), still not bad for exploring Tokyo all day.
Overall we had a wonderful stay!
