Nishiogikubo is a gem of a neighborhood and this apartment is next to the station and all the shops nearby including a Seiyu supermarket, Kaldi, and some great restaurants, cafes, etc.
If you’re super sensitive to noise you won’t like the train noises (the host kindly provided earplugs) but to me the sounds of the train are a perfect way to feel the pulse of Tokyo.
The host was very helpful, responsive, local, English-speaking, safety-conscious and overall a really excellent gentleman!
