If you are visiting Tokyo, Japan, this is a great and affordable place to stay in. Here are the benefits of staying at this apartment:
1) Location:
Located the city of Nakano and within 5 minutes walk from the Nakano Station. Nakano station is considered one of the major train stations that can take you to many tourist destinations. You can ride the JR Sobu Train (yellow) Line, JR Chuo Train Line (orange), or the Metro Subway Tozai Train Line (blue).
This apartment is located near many convenient restaurants and shops such as the Daiso 100 yen shops (there are two), 24 hour convenience stores, Ramen shops (there are actually 2 shops on the ground floor of the apartment..yum yum), sushi restaurants, udon restaurants, supermarkets (3 nearby), Nakano Broadway (various shops selling manga, anime, toys, etc), Nakano Sun Mall (other various shops and restaurants), Marui Department Store and more. If you cannot be without American foods, there are 2 McDonald's and a Baskin Robbins nearby also. Compared to staying at a tourist area such as Shinagawa and Roppongi, Nakano has more local food and shops.
2)The Apartment itself:
Very clean and quiet apartment with an elevator. Furnished 1 bedroom apartment with free Wifi, TV, Large Bed Sofa, A/C, Heater, Fridge, Kitchen, Shower/Bath, Washer, Balcony, and many tourist brochures. My family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) stayed very comfortably in the middle of July during the summer heat and humidly. The A/C was very cool. Most importantly for myself and the kids, the free wifi was a life saver during the relaxing time at the apartment after a long day of walking around. The wifi speed was so good that my kids were able to play the online Diablo game on their laptops and watch online videos on our ipads. Sometimes we even bought take out food and just ate at the apartment instead of eating out.
3) The Host (Yuka)
Terrific host. She is very helpful and replies in a timely manner. Yuka answered all my questions before deciding to rent the apartment. Yuka even provides a manual in English so explain all the rules and functions of the apartment. The TV remote, AC Controls, Washer functions, Bathroom temperature control are all in Japanese, so the English Manual was very easy to follow and understand. I am happy that I made the right choice.
4) The Price:
Compared to staying at a hotel, this is cheap!
