Place is just as explain, it's in a beautiful quiet neighborhood relatively close to a lot of attractions. My girl and I took the train the first time and it's about 2 blocks from the place, but train is very confusing as it's huge and can get lost easily but Japanese are always willing to help out. I decided to walk most of my stay as it will allow me to see Japan at my own pace and it was a great decision. Walking it took me about 45 minutes at a fast pace to get to downtown Shinjuku where all the markets are at. The national park is about 25 minute walk. Taxi are convenient but very expensive. On a cab is about a 7 minute ride for $30 dollars to downtown, train it's about $2 dollars but again confusing even though the train station have information offices that are close after midnight. But the apartment is in a great location where you can walk around the area for some Japanese local food and mini market. The suggestions given by the host are really great.
