The Apartment was in a quiet, but convenient neighborhood in the northern part of town along the Yamanote line, which is the main train line circling Tokyo. There were convenience stores, supermarkets, drug stores and restaurants located within a few hundred yards of the apartment which made staying there very convenient, especially with kids. The unit has air conditioning and a washer machine with lots of laundromats for drying clothes very easy (100yen/10 minutes). Our host, Maki, was very accommodating and the booklet of instructions was very informative of not only the unit, but what was around the unit in terms of activities, a shopping street and more. Our host also helped by providing detailed instructions in Japanese to provide our taxi driver. Although, if you are arriving without too much luggage, complete directions from the train station with pictures were provided and completely doable. In all, a very nice place, a terrific host and a pleasant neighborhood.
