The flat is near from the JR station, good take out food shops, several supermarkets, convenience store and laundromats. The balcony is good to dry laundries. But if you come during rainy season like us, I recommend you to dry laundries in the laundromat after you wash them in the flat. The dryer costs 100yen per 10min. All I would like to say is the flat should be cleaned more like no dusty ventilations, no full of dust boxes in the toilet etc.
