Takashi's place is in a great location. Lots of food options and amazing vintage shopping. The apartment is very close to the station which is itself a short ride from the city center. The apartment was clean and functional. The futons were equipped with heating pads which were magical. The walls are very thin, so the street sounds are very loud, but if you are not a light sleeper it shouldn't be a problem. Takashi and his wife were very helpful and quick to respond. Overall great experience.
