Staying at Shu's place was great! It is a very small space by USA standards, but it is functional and gets the job of serving as a place to sleep and rest up between outings into Tokyo. The apartment was very clean when we checked in and the building is well maintained. You need to lug your luggage up stairs, but it is not that hard. The shower has instant and constant hot water. I would say this place is perfect for 1 to 2 people.
