Convenient location, very walkable. No dedicated drop off points which can make loading and unloading of suitcases difficult.

LBase El base / Matsumoto Nagano
It was a great stay, enjoyed everything it had to offer but I recommend getting there by car or taxi since it’s out of the way of the train stations so you have to walk about 30 min
