the apartment is tucked in a quiet residential area. there are many eateries around, a supermarket 2 mins away, and 2 convinent stores within 5 minutes walk.
the only thing I would imagine a problem is for people who are planning to travel extensively with the JR pass. you will have to change trains, and the walk from the subway to the apartment is about 15 mins walk away (I'm a slow walker)
as I was there for r&r, everything I needed was within reach, and if you really need something and are too lazy to walk all the way to the subway and change trains,there's a straight to kamata, which takes 20mins and a busy place by itself. And the bus stop is 2 mins walk away.
the host was quick to answer queries. the place was clean, and is exactly as it is advertised here.
