Kenny's place was exactly as described. It was fun to read all the notes on the wall. His directions from the train station were accurate. It was easy to find the apartment and to get the key and let ourselves in. The small town had some great restaurants! He is about 2 minutes walking distance from the train station. His palace is about 20 minuets from the City as long as you take the correct trains. The only bad thing is that our JR pass did not cover the train from Tokyo to Nishi-Chofu. It's an additional approx. $3 each way. And since most of the major connections are Shinjuku we did have to be traveling to and from quite a bit. Having to take 2 additional trains from the city to get home was a bit much at the beginning but once we got a handle on the trains it was a breeze. We truly enjoyed the stay. Thanks again Kenny!
