We stayed at Yutaka's place in Komagome. It was easy 7-10 min walk through shopping strip to JR komagome station. There are so many cute mom and pop shops like tofu shop, bakery, Japanese sweet shop, fish market, vegetable stand, supermarket, convenience store. We enjoyed tasting all the yummy treats. The place is clean, simple and modern. Tatami area you can put your futons are so cool. We enjoyed it. Since it is facing to the front gate on first floor, you have to close the curtain all the time but other than that I didn't hear much noise from outside. very comfortable.
Since JR Komagome station is on Yamanote line, you get to access easy almost anywhere in Tokyo, Ginza, Shinjuku, Akihabara, Shibuya, Harajuku, Ikebukuro.
I highly recommend this yutaka's place!
