the location is great! it's so close to the skytree station. We could travel even to the furthest parts of tokyo in 45 minutes to an hour because we were so close to a station. if you are using the JR pass, this may not be an ideal location for saving money with the pass. However, there were 3 major lines, all within a 5 minute walk. the area also seemed much more peaceful and local than staying somewhere busy like shibuya or shinjuku.
