岩間さん’s apartment was even better than we expected. It’s location is calm and private, you have an entire balcony overlooking the main through way, and its a 5 minute walk to the nearest train station. There are tons of great restaurants, bakeries, coffee, and shops within walking distance. It was a great retreat from the fast pace of the larger neighborhoods and, personally, I would always chose this location over that of the big city.
Highly recommended for any distant travelers, 岩間さん speaks great english and is highly responsive with any requests.
