This apartment was situated only a three minute walk from the closest subway station but it is not part of the JR pass. It is located in an industrial district close to a lot of convenience stores and wine/beer bars.
The building itself is a bit older and the floor below us was an office space. The apartment was quiet, clean and spacious. We loved the amount of space we had. None of the bedrooms shared a wall so there was privacy for all. We enjoyed the luxurious amount of space. The decor was for soothing and gave us a taste of Japan.
The apartment is relatively dark in comparison to the pictures but it is represented well. Please note that there is no elevators so you will have to carry you luggage up narrow and steep stairs.
Overall our experience was great. The hosts are professional, their instructions are very clear and they are very responsive to questions. We appreciated their hospitality and felt that they really tried to make our visit enjoyable.
