Yuko is a very helpful, friendly and welcoming host. Her responses to my questions and inquires were always prompt and fast. Her place is located in a quiet residential area and very quiet. It is a basic simple Japanese small studio apartment and great for a budget solo traveler. The bus stop is very nearby and can get to several train stations in Hachioji by different buses. Just need to consider some extra travel time if taking the train to go to other places.
