This is a great place to stay near Tokyo. I was working in Wako and this place was very convenient. There are bus stops right outside. The walk to Oizumigakuen station takes only about 15-20 minutes and there are good food options nearby. There are several places wirhin walking distance open 24 hrs. The traffic outside can be fairly noisy during the day with the windows open, but it's quiet at night. Reiko is a wonderful host. She provided us with a lot of useful toiletries and information. She also responded quickly whenever we had questions. I highly recommend this apartment as a place to stay.
