The apartment is pretty much in the suburbs which provided a really authentic feel for everyday local life. Very accessible to the train station and the host provided excellent suggestions for neighborhood restaurants.
There are a good assortment of small shops in the arcades between the apartment and the train station...convenience stores, take out, sweets, produce, meats for doing your own cooking.
Host’s Brother is very helpful and available...super friendly and considerate. I highly recommend this apartment and would absolutely stay there again.
