approachable
Warm and accessible
Approachable describes someone easy to talk to or deal with—not intimidating, not standoffish: She's very approachable; just knock on her door.
The word also applies to places that can be reached or entered: The cabin is approachable only by foot.
An approachable subject or text is accessible to newcomers rather than forbiddingly complex.
