Literally a five minute walk from Oshiage station, Shino's place is the perfect location for exploring the area around Tokyo Skytree and Asakusa. It's also super convenient for getting to the airport and traveling to Nikko. It's a bit further from Shinjuku and Shibuya, but riding the subway isn't too great a hardship. The neighborhood is quiet and residential. There are convenience stores and a grocery store nearby. The apartment itself is small, but has everything you need. It fit the three of us comfortably. Shino was very responsive to messages and answered all our questions patiently. There are huge lockers available on site for $5 a day.
