Great stay at Ying's place, it's about a 10-12 minute walk from the JR Nishi Nippori station. Everything was new and clean and could easily fit 6-7 people. Rooms were spacious and heated floors were a nice bonus! Ying was quick to respond to any questions and very helpful. A supermarket and drug store are 3 minutes' walk away for anything you may need. Only caution is that the stairs are a bit narrow and steep, but there is a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.
