Satoru's apartment is conveniently located 12 minutes away from shibuya station. It is also around 10minutes by foot from Ebisu station. Around the apartment, there are a lot of convenience stores-LIFE, Lawson, 7E, Daiso which makes it easy to buy groceries.
For muslims, there are halal restaurants nearby, malay asian cuisine and also a halal indian restaurant (Naan Tandoor-in front of ebisu station-their briyani and naan soooo delicious)
Satoru responds super fast to any of your questions and he also dropped by one night before we check out to see if everything was okay and even dropped off treats for our kids which is very thoughtful.
Do note that there is no elevator in this apartment and the stairs are a bit narrow. We also find that the futons are a bit hard and uncomfortable to sleep on but other than that, everything was great
