I currently live in Japan out in the country coast area, so this is my review from already living here. This listing is very big for being in Tokyo. Also the area of Machida is quiet. The bus ride is only three stops and 200 yen to the tsurukawa stop. Making it very convient to grab the local train to the other areas of the city. If you brought a car it was a good area to drive around in. Also Costco of Machida is only 30 mins away by car. The apartment it self is old and had a few things broken but nothing that stopped it from being a good place for the value. The host is extremely friendly and put up little maps to show local things within walking distance. The bakery across the street and the bread shop are amazing. Def check them out!
