Rymlig lägenhet
En bra lägenhet för längre period. Fanns gott om köksarticklar och två rymliga sovrum och 1 balkong. Blev dock väldigt varmt under sommaren, och avsaknad av speglar var minus. Det finns ingen Hiss så att dra väskor till högsta våningen var väldigt omständigt. Men överlag en bra lägenhet som var ren och fräsch. Relativt nära till tunnelbanan som tar dig in till centrum av stan på 10-15 min. Är du sugen på att vara gå och äta, finns restauranger och mataffärer längst vägen till tunnelbanan shin-egota. Annars ligger Ekoda 10 min gångväg bort med både restauranger och tunnelbana.

Cheap apartment with good access to Tokyo centre
The apartment is close to Shin Egota subway station, so it was easy to get in and out of Tokyo,which took about 30 minutes. The property and facilities are a bit worn but otherwise clean and spacious
We had a very plesant stay at this apartment. The apartment was at least three times as big as a regular hotel room in Japan, so we had plenty of space to move around. The kitchen appliances, especially the microwave and toaster oven, were life savers whenever buying pre-made food from the convenience store. Not to mention how handy it is to have a full-sized fridge/freezer! There's also a TV you can use, with a few of Japan's major channels, like TV Tokyo and Fuji TV. There was at least 3 vending machines with soda near the entry to the building, so you won't thirst to death. There's also a few restaurants beneath the apartments, but we didn't try them out. The best part about this stay has to be the portable wi-fi. Bring a phone with google maps and GPS, and you can pretty much find every place of interest with ease. (Great for playing Pokemon Go too, without using insane amounts of data). Close to "Shin-Egota Station" too, it won't take you more than seven minutes to walk there
Now to the negative feedback... There's an air conditioner, but only in one out of the two bedrooms. This didn't bother us, since we were only two people, but could be a problem for a family or people not wanting to sleep in the same room, especially during the dreadful "33 celsius or more" summer heat. They did give you a portable fan too, though. The bathroom wasn't very clean either, with multiple strands of hair around the bathtub and some moldy spots around in the room.
It takes almost an hour to get there from the main train station. The place needs to be updated since it has old appliances, and an old bathroom. There is only one air conditioner, in the bedroom, so it is impossible to cool down the kitchen area and adjacent room to a comfortable level.
As soon as we got there and saw it, we decided to rent a hotel room in another location near the train station and we did not stay there at all.
This is not a hotel! It is a 2 bedroom apartment in the traditional Japanese style. It was cozy and showed what it was like to live like the locals. There is no elevator so we had to walk up 4 floors, but the ceilings are fairly low so it was like 3 US stories. We slept in one bed room and used the second as a dressing room since it was just 2 of us but it fits 5. The bedroom had legit Japanese style futons on tatami mats on the wooden floor, it delivered the authentic Japanese home life as depicted in anime. Because it was an apartment there was no room service, but there are plenty of stores, restaurants, and bars nearby. Instructions and maps all in English were left for us on the kitchen table as well as a hot spot to borrow for the week. We went in winter so it was cold and only the bedrooms have heaters. No central air/heat like in the U.S. but smaller units like in Puerto Rico, which we got used to quickly. Bathroom was interesting with complete instructions on how to use the shower and bath tub and the restroom were separate rooms like in many Japanese homes. Because it was an apartment, we had to clean up after ourselves and left things how we found them. You receive the email with a map on how to get to the apartment, but you cant see the street names, you should google it first with street names. We were lost for a bit getting there, but once we found it it was easy. There were good landmarks, like a pedestrian bridge marking left at the next light for Toyatama.
