This is a very nice suburban neighbourhood just outside of central Tokyo. As such the whole neighbourhood feels very cozy and homely. You see families around during their evening shopping and going to work in the morning. Feels very safe.
The beds are comfortable, the heated toilet seat was very welcome.
There are kitchen utensils if you wish to cook inside. No microwave though.
And the free tickets to the public bath are a very nice touch. You don't feel awkward there and it is nice to experience the neighbourhood feeling in the bath with all the old friends enjoying this activity together.
There is a washing machine in the apartment and you can hang your clothes out to dry. We went out to use the public gas dryer as it was winter and damp.
Oh try the restaurant recommendations they are good! The Italian restaurant makes delicious cream sauce based pasta (different from the kind I get at home) and the soba restaurant has some of the nicest Oden and curry rice we have ever eaten in addition to their great Soba.
