It was very large, comfortable, and clean. As you can tell from the pictures it is older, but you definitely wake up knowing you are in japan and not just in a cookie cutter hotel room. We really appreciated the snacks, drinks, and guidebooks that he left for us. There is also a very cute and super informative large map he has created with local points of interest which was very useful to us. The stairs are precarious but that was expected, and there is one bedroom on the ground floor if you want to avoid that, but not as nice as the bedrooms upstairs. There is only one bathroom on the ground floor but it helps that it the toilet, sink, and shower are all split, so our family of four managed. The JR station is about a ten minute walk which is a little farther than expected but still close. There is a subway station and bus stops close by also. The JR station only has one line which makes it easy to navigate but means you’ll likely need to change trains anywhere you are going. Still fairly central since we did our day trips from akihabara station (1 station away) rather than from Shinjuku as most guides will mention first. The area itself is not a destination but it is a nice balance of quiet but lively with people always around and a good selection of stores and restaurants. Do reach out to him on more specific instructions on how to get to the apartment since we had some trouble with that, but he is great at responding. Overall, it was a nice stay that really gave us a feel for what it would be like to live in Japan.
