The apartment was furnished simply but well. Having a washing machine for our dirty clothes was particularly handy. There is a supermarket conveniently close by. We found the mobile WiFI handy in spite of having bought a Japanese SIM card with internet access, as the SIM card didn't always get a connection while the mobile WiFi did. In the summer heat it was a bit painful walking to the Ryogoku JR train station, though it is less than 10 minutes away. The Ryogoku metro station has a much closer entrance, so use that if you can (different lines to the JR station). Would stay again.
