Frankly, I usually stay in Ooimachi when I go to Tokyo due to its ease of travel. 10 min to Shinjuku, Kawasaki, 15 min to Tokyo, 1 stop to Shinagawa and the shinkansen. But my usual place 10 minutes from the station was not on the site anymore, but I found this place. I rented the place for the whole month even though I had overnight trips out of town since the weak yen made this place a huge bargain. The area is very active, but the location, although only 3 minutes from the station was well protected and quiet. I use Gold's Gym which was like 2 minutes away. Having a stove and washer/dryer is a plus.
