Fantastic little apartment in a great area:
---
INSIDE: A very nice little space with plenty of storage. The kitchen area was nice to use and the bed was comfortable, with a normal hotel-unit bathroom that you'll be familiar with if you've stayed in Japan before. All very homely. I really enjoyed the balcony though, which gives you a lot of fresh air and a nice little view of the street outside and some of the rooftops.

TRANSPORT: This is a great location, between:
Uguisudani Station (JR Yamanote ring line though goes all major Tokyo stations)
Iriya Station (Hibiya Metro line giving great connections to the north east and south of Tokyo)
& Mikawashima (JR line and gives good access out in to Chiba)
---
LOCAL AREA: Given that this is near to Ueno and very much in built up Tokyo, you do have a lot of convenience stores, but also some great supermarkets within a ten minute walk. You will also find a lot of culture and local bars and restaurants nearby. Worth a general walk around and just explore, there is a lot to do.

OTHER NOTES: The building has quite an old feel, which I found charming, but be aware of a slightly noisy aircon unit outside and metal stairs up to the room. Honestly though, these things just add a little charm.

OVERVIEW: Nice little place to stay in a great location. For long term residents and tourists, it should provide and engaging and welcoming place to be.
