The apartment was super-clean. Andrew was very accommodating and let us leave our bags early when we arrived on the metro. The sleeper couch is a little tight in the room and makes it hard for another guest to get to the bathroom in the night, but the kitchen and other bedroom were spacious enough. There's not much around this area as far as restaurants or places to see and the campus/shrine were a decent walk of 15-20 minutes with some inclines that made you think twice about bouncing back and forth. As noted in other reviews, the ceilings are indeed low and it is a basement, so dark, but we were out most of the day so it didn't matter to us. It was NOT musty, which was happy.
