Elvia’s apartment unit is within a few minute walking distance to the Nakai station and about 10 minutes away from the Ochiai station. The station you use will depend on where you’re going as each station only goes to certain parts of the City. The apartment is located close to a railroad crossing therefore light sleepers beware as the track signals make warning sounds every 20-30 seconds until very late into the night.
The apartment is very spacious with 2 bedrooms and a 6 person dining table. The unit also has a washer and the heater bathroom doubles as a drying room for your wet clothes.
There are a lot of convenience stores and restaurants near-by.
The host was very helpful and responsive.
Although the unit was a bit noisy from the tracks, I would still recommend it for small families looking to stay outside of the main City core. My 3 year old definitely enjoyed the extra space compared to a typical hotel in Japan.
