Cons: Staff not always available, a bit far from the trains, a bit far from areas like Nishiki market—which I don’t recommend going to anyway. Also not very soundproof.
Pros: clean, microwave, big space, lots of shrines nearby to visit, quiet area, has a washer but no dryer.
Main thing is: If you dont mind walking or taking an Uber/taxi sometimes, consider this area. But if you have a toddler like us, I would 100% consider closer to where the tourist-y area is closer to the train station.
