The apartment is comfortable, tranquil, and large. There is a small grocery store with ready-to-eat or heat Japanese meals, salads, gyoza, and manju, boxed juices, and some basic veggies and fruits at very reasonable prices only a block away, so we ate from their selections a lot. There is even a public bath on the way to the station that we didn't try, but those are disappearing and always a great cultural experience. The apartment is a 15 minute walk from Sangenjaya station, so it's difficult to walk with a lot of heavy luggage. There are taxis by the station, though.
