Chikako's place is beautiful, I was so impressed when i walked through the door. The photos don't fully show just how airy, light and spacious it is. Its also very quiet.
Everything you can possibly need has been thought of, its great to have access to the washer, and there are helpful post its explaining things.
There's an easy bus to and from the city, and the airport is just a 5min taxi or drive away. Would highly recommend if, like me, you need to leave very early or late to catch a flight.
