Ichiko's apartment is located in the international district and is about a 16 min walk to the JR station or 13 min walk to the metro station.
The building had a concrete exterior and a security code door for easy access. Once we got our keys, we made our way to the 3rd floor. Please be wary if you're traveling with big suitcases like we were, there is no elevator and the staircase is narrow.
To check in, there's two ways: One via an external office (15 min away)and one via tablet in the room.
The room itself was modeled to maximize space which was much appreciated given our last rental only allowed for one suitcase to be opened at a time. In the space where an additional futon could be placed (pictured), it's wide enough for two big suitcases to be opened.
During our stay, Ichiko was quick to respond and provided tips on luggage forwarding services.
Overall, we had a decent stay but will look for locations closer to the train station in the future.
