This place is really quite area including in the house. If you are ok with it, you can live here. Actually if you want to back home, you need to take Toyoko line to back home only. That means the subway pass or jr pass do not work.
However, Aki, she is the great host who really like to take the guests with warm welcoming. She responds to any question in short times so you will be fine even you get lost in Tokyo.
The cats stay separately from the guest area if you want to play with them. You can ask from Aki.
