The Futaba hotel was a pleasant surprise for sure. It's basically a 5 minute walk to Nippori station right on the Yamanote line so it was very conveniently located. We took the Narita Express train directly from Narita airport to Nippori station in 36 minutes so it doesn't get much more convenient than that. There are a ton of restaurants within a few minutes from the apartment including our new favorite place, Ichiyohi soba & udon right across the street.
There was great communication with our host to welcome us to their place and explain everything in the unit and how to operate things. The apartment was spotless and well furnished with everything seemingly brand new. Needless to say we'll be back here to stay for sure.
