This is our third stay at one of Asaka's apartments. It is very convenient for us as it is close to my son's home here but it's also a good base from which to explore Tokyo, Yokohama and Kamakura, all of which are easily accessible. Travelling anywhere in Tokyo can take a long time but you get used to it and the station is so close to Asaka's place which makes it easy. This time we stayed in Room 202, which is larger and better for 2 people than Room 201, especially with the new table and chairs - thank you Asaka for providing that! It is quite well though minimally equipped and the washing machine is a real plus if you are staying for a while.
Tamagawagakuen is a pleasant residential neighbourhood with 2 good supermarkets, a 100 yen Daisu store and several places to eat. The proprietors of the curry place just down the road are particularly friendly and speak good English. It is good to come back to the relative peace and quiet of Tamagawagakuen after a day in Tokyo!
Asaka is always available to help with any problems.
