The apartment is located just a very short walk from the train station and lots of local restaurants and shops including a small supermarket. It is easy to get into central Tokyo but will take about 20 minutes. Trains come about every 2 minutes, so you are never waiting long. One note to anyone planning to use their JR pass to travel around, the first part of the journey is not on the JR line. We used Pasmo which was easy. The apartment has everything you need, including a nice hot shower. It is definitely good value for money compared to shared accommodation. We were quite jet lagged when we arrived, so could have done with more daylight (there aren't a lot of windows) but it probably is not an issue for most people who will be out exploring the city the majority of the time. Communication was very good with the host via message. Overall it was a good experience!
