The appartment is part of a house with two flats. This is the second floor appartment. I would recommend this place mainly due to the sorrounding area. It is a nice place with traditional japanese shops and places, and it is very quiet, so we could sleep very well!. Besides, there are plenty of typical restaurants in the area. The stairs are a little bit difficult if you have big luggage but we did not have problems. The appartment is nice, but small (as Japanase houses are, I guess). So, for a family with 4 people is OK if the children are not that big, but I would no recommend for 4 adults. The appartment is well equipped. I think that cleanliness can be improved. It is the only fault I found.
