You're going to need a large-ish aperture (at least 10 inches) and a dark sky to see it, as it is now dimmer than mag 15.
Here are some good articles about the short series of flareups which were first seen in 2002:

The star is now so dim that a star-hop will be difficult. That is, you could get to the area but not see the star unless you had good conditions and adequate aperture.
Here's the AAVSO finder chart for it (it's marked by the small cross in the center, between 123 and 120):

The brightest star in this field (V637) is a variable that hovers around mag 5, which is dim but naked-eye visible from a decent suburban/rural site.
