The apartment at Kotaro's place was absolutely perfect. Instructions on how to find it were very clear and easy. There were english instructions all around the apartment on the amenities to help guide us on how to use them. The apartment is located near the JR line and the metro station for easy travelling. It is also near many convenience stores and a numerous amount of restaurants. There is also a park nearby that held a Hawaiian themed event when we were there and I imagine other events can be held there as well. Finally, it is also near quite a few key shopping stores such as Daiso, Tower records for your musical needs, and a few supermarkets. You can probably do alot of your shopping in this area without having to travel back and forth with your bags on the trains The apartment was very clean and very organized. Kotaro has 3 very detailed guides inside the apartment in regards to the trains, restaurants, and information regarding recycling/trash, wifi, and stay information. There was an abundance of supplies that we could use from towels to hangers, hand and body soap, shampoos, dishes, etc. If we were ever running low all we would need to do is contact Kotaro and he would be able to tell us where there would be more in the cupboards. In terms of the bedroom itself, it was quite spacious, I found. I travelled with my sister and we had enough room to lay out our suitcases without having to put them on the beds. The blankets were huge and fluffy and extremely comfortable. The beds are on the firm side which was good for me and the pillows are made of memory foam so they give the body the best positioning when resting. The apartment has two balconies that can be used to view the surrounding environment. There is no hanging hook outside though. But you can release a clothing bar from one of the cupboards over the bed to hang clothes on; the room comes with some hangers that you can use as well as a collapsable one with clips. In terms of noise, there is some noise as the windows are not sound proof. No different from regular city sounds though: some cars going by. Generally it gets quieter as the night goes on but you may find yourself like me and be exhausted from a day of excursions and it won't matter. For temperature, we travelled during a good time of the year so it wasn't too hot nor too cold. However there IS an aircon that can be used to adjust the temperature to your liking. The kitchen area has some cups that can be used as well as paper bowls. One thing we didn't see was utensils. If we wanted to share something there were no forks or spoons that we could find but the clerks at the convenience stores were happy enough to give us a second set...
