The place was clean, and perfect for the two of us. The wifi signal was pretty weak, but it sometimes could be strong enough for streaming video. The neighborhood has numerous shops, restaurants, and even a thrift store or two, all within a five minute walk. Check out the Daiso 100 yen store for some great souvenir shopping. The neighborhood was usually pretty quiet. There was a nest of birds right outside the window that would sometimes get active in the early morning, and a gentleman that lived nearby would have some strange coughs throughout some nights.
Mariko was a great host and communicates quickly.
