Yumiko’s place is in a quiet, friendly neighborhood—perhaps a bit out of the way, but she provides very clear directions, and it’s a quick walk to transit lines into the city center. The apartment is, if anything, roomier than expected: I stayed here with two friends and we had no trouble. Everything was clean, well-organized, and functioned properly, and Yumiko herself is very kind! It was a wonderful little haven to return to after long, hot days of August sightseeing.
