Rickie's place is located close to the station, but just far enough away to be in a quiet neighborhood. Near the station, there are various fancy restaurants and stores as well as a large supermarket, Daiso, and McDonald's.
As for the apartment, it was about what I expected from the photographs. The kitchen is furnished with pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, and utensils. Rickie also provided towels. However, for other amenities, you will have to bring your own. There is also a microwave and refrigerator, and the place was very clean as well.
On a small note, the apartment is near train tracks, so it was a little noisy and bright as the trains ran until around 1:00 am and started again in the morning at 4:40 am.
When I first arrived at the apartment, I had slight difficulty in following the check-in instructions, but a quick phone call to Rickie's phone number provided me a quick solution. In general, Rickie is quite fast in responses, whether it be through messaging or by phone.
All in all, I had a good experience in seeing this area of Tokyo, and it provided good access to various places across west Tokyo.
