Think twice if you rent under Thao, get a Airbnb in the Chiba area if you can,I stayed in the Chiba area in 2012 and I wished I could stayed their again but it is too bad the owner moved to New Zealand about 5 years ago, but think twice if you want to stay at her place during the Oymipic Games next year
