We found our stay to be cozy, comfortable and clean. There is a 7-11 directly opposite, a supermarket beside it, and some local eateries right next to the building. It is also much more spacious compared to general hotel rooms, and has a separate bathroom and toilet. Stove was rusty but workable. One of my family members encountered with the hot shower running cold twice, so you probably have to wait for the water heater to heat up between showers. The beds are very comfortable albeit soft; it might be a consideration for the elderly. The location is very near to Shin-Nakano metro station, and would be suitable for people who travel light, or heavy baggages could be a hassle when transferring to the JR lines. This place would therefore be great for those who travel more on the metro lines and to places like Shinjuku and Ginza. Lastly, our host Tarou was excellent and always responded instantly.
