This apartment is in a nice residential suburb some distance from the main city areas. There are plenty of shops within 5 minutes walk, including a Daiso. It is the typical small size for Tokyo apartments and the bedding and furniture is also standard for Japan (i.e. thin by Western standards - if you are a foreigner over about 90kg you may struggle). The host was very responsive to our requests to install non-see-through curtains and provide coat hangers to allow drying of clothes.
