Great place. The location was great. It was a few minutes away from a metro station on the Ginza line and no more than a 10 minute walk from the Ueno JR station and metro station that gave easy access to other metro lines. The place was about a 15 minute walk from Ueno park and all of its amenities, a little further in the opposite direction to Senso-ji temple, which is spectacular at any time of night. The area is also dotted with temples large and small. There are lots of good cheap places to eat nearby. There is also a sento around the corner that is nice. I was very surprised at how quiet the apartment and area was. I was expecting what the typical (to me) urban noises at all hours, but I rarely heard any outside noises at any time of the day. I was also surprised by how pleasantly walkabout the area is.
