Stayed here with three of my friends. A wonderful experience in Tokyo. We really enjoyed our stay there. A truly homely, private, quiet house in a safe neighbourhood. Even safer since it is located near to the hosts' own house for added assurance and security. Quick access to food and convenience stores nearby, as well as walking distance from the subway station. Very pleasant and kind hosts. They would always be respectful of our privacy yet be proactively offer their help. I do not regret renting this place, and I would absolutely book here again if I were given another opportunity to return to Tokyo.

Akane and Mitsu are the sweetest most helpful people on the planet. They made our experience in Tokyo a breeze. I stayed at the Old Folk House with my five month old baby and husband. We loved staying in their home. It had everything that we needed. Akane even provided a diaper pail. The location was very convenient, close to a supermarket, a convenience store and a laundromat. I was surprised and delighted to be able to experience a slower, quiet side of Tokyo. Akane and Mitsu made us feel like we were close friends or family. I will certainly recommend the Old Folk House to anyone I know that will be traveling to Tokyo.

Akane and Mitsu were very welcoming without being overwhelming and were very attentive - a very charming couple. The traditional Japanese home is spacier than regular apartment units and cozy to even chill at home. It provides everything on the listing and beyond to ensure comfort, as if you were visiting a friend's home. The neighborhood is a vibrant old Edo district, presenting a different side of Tokyo than your usual tourist traps. The Sumiyoshi subway stop is not too far, connecting to both the Toei and Hanzomon lines. Japan railway pass holders could take the hike to JR Kinshicho, I suppose. Highly recommended for the culturally sensitive traveller.

I highly reccomend this stay in Tokyo. I felt so welcomed to the city after meeting Akane and Mitsu who are such kind people. There is a reason why they have been voted super hosts. The house provides a great base to explore Tokyo. There is such attention to detail from a heated toilet seat to floor heating under tables. A beautiful experience of japanese style living.

We were pleased to find this accommodation for our first nights in Japan and Tokyo. Akanene and Mitsu are excellent hosts who made ever effort at making our stay easy. The area is full of interesting and delightful micro restaurants and bars that are friendly and provide excellent food. We particularly enjoyed the Soul Bar on the main road to Sumiyoshi Station. Once we learnt the ways of the Tokyo train system, it was very easy getting to wherever we wanted to go.

Great place, large size compared to everywhere else we stayed in Tokyo and indeed Japan. Yes, house was drafty but we expected this (winter, previous reviews). Heating once it got going was effective, table warmer was great touch. Easy to find from local subway station. The walk was not long, although we tend not to travel with much luggage. We'd definitely stay again, albeit next time aim for another time of the year. Thanks again.

This host was really warm-hearted and hospital. The house was quite cozy. Best trip experience ever.

Akane and Mitsu are very nice couple! Their house was last stop of our Tokyo trip and we were really enjoyed and relaxed in the house. It was comfort and clean, and we love the kotatsu most! The well-equipped kitchen also helped a lot! Akane is a very talented artist, we love the way they decorate the house and the fabric works like art pieces and painting on the wall, especially the vivid curtain, cushions and futon for kotatsu. If you want to try a suburban life in Tokyo, it's the best choice for you!

Alfie's place is a great place to stay if you're in Tokyo. The location is on a quiet street not far from shops, restaurants, and the metro. Alfie and Kenji were friendly and easy going. It is nicely decorated townhome with modern decor. I definitely recommend.

This was a great place. It's very clean and relatively spacious. The interior is nicely done and therefore you directly feel at home. The place is a little remote (10 minute walk from Kanamecco station) , but I didn't mind because the connections to shibiya and shinjuku are great. The place was a little cold in winter, but that counts for the whole of Tokyo. People don't isolate and switch heating off when they leave home. After 10 minutes of heating all is fine.

Very nice place, makes you feel like home. The location is near to Kanecho Station, one stop after Ikebukuro. You can spend one day nearby. Kenji and Alfie were so kind. Wish to see them next time.

After a recent stay of one week we highly recommend a stay with Alfie and Kenji. Their home is clean, well maintained, stylish, well considered for guests and very good value. The bedroom is well equipped with comfortable bed and there is plenty of wardrobe storage space. The neighbourhood is friendly, traditional and very quiet for Tokyo and a short walk to the subway. Alfie and Kenji are helpful with recommendations and advice but provide plenty of privacy for their guests. The level of hospitality is excellent- fresh clean towels every second day, freshly brewed coffee each morning and mobile pocket wifi to take with you each day.

Alfie's apartment was great! It's conveniently located near a 7-11, local restaurants and a subway that allows easy access to basically the entire east-side of Tokyo. The apartment is exactly as described with all the comforts of home. Both Alfie and Kenji are swell guys who went out of their way to assist and make us feel welcome.

Great stay! Alfie and Kenji has a beautiful home, it was modern and extremely clean. Great features such as a washing machine and a dryer, WIFI in the house and a pocket WIFI when traveling Tokyo and heating in the bedroom. If you don't mind sharing a home then this place is great. Japanese houses are built to hear things, unfortunately you sleep on the bottom floor so you may hear movement during the night and morning, aside from that it's a really nice stay.

This is a wonderful house so comfortable ,clean ,well-equipped and in a great location near Kanamecho station and convenience store. Alfie and Kenji are very accommodating. Would stay again when in Tokyo.

What a surprise to discover that this Airbnb is shared ! Only the bedroom is private, so ideal for 2 guests. Our hosts are very welcoming, simple and discrete. During our stay, we could enjoy the whole house without being disturbed. Another amazing point, breakfast is ready every morning, fresh bread and fruits. Highly recommended !

Kawano ' s family is very informative host they gave very useful and enough information even we came late they are so kindness to find us(URL HIDDEN)All prior ibformation before trip is really useful and correctly . They are response very fast.

Great house, great landlord. Close to the Keisei-Tateishi Station

Kawano-san was extremely helpful in facilitating our stay in Japan. Not only were directions from the airport (Narita) detailed enough, the directions around Katsushika provided us with great food, shopping and sights to see. The apartment's proximity to the local train station was unbeatable, possibly one of the best places to stay around Japan. The apartment was just as we imagined it to be, cozy enough for a group of four. While its decor makes it extremely pleasant to sleep in, the surrounding is pleasantly quiet enough, without the piercing sound of sirens to wake you from deep slumber. We thoroughly enjoyed our 6D5N stay in Kawano-san's apartment to the extent that if we were to visit Japan again, Kawano-san's apartment would definitely be one of the top accommodation choices for us again. Thank you for the great hospitality that is truly Japanese! ありがとう!

Good experience, we were only two, but it has room for more, everythink was clean, and new. Very friendly hosts.

the house is pretty cool

Perfect host. The communication was very good and responsive. The Kawano family is extremely friendly and made sure all our needs were met. The apartments were very clean and even our towels were exchanged on a daily basis. A few extra perks were in it too. Great place of you travel in a group that is intimate. Like close friends or family. If you don't mind changing trains a couple of times to get to Tokyo's hotspots, the area is very calm but offers everything you need on a daily basis. From food courts and amenities- everything is just a stone throw away. We'd book again. Thank you.

Great room, as shown in the picture. Host was really friendly hahaha. Love the room and the interiors, location was slightly out of town but that I like it, the quaint neighborhood of Taiteishi. AWESOME.

The J's apartment was lovely, spacious, super clean and very comfortable for 4 of us to stay. It's made us feel like home. The Tateshi station is just 5 mins walk from the apartment, along with lots of shops and restaurants. The host provided a very clear and detail's illustrate of the train and subway route to the main visit place. The free portable wifi were really helped us when outgoing to another city. We really love Tateshi, it's a typical Japan neighborhood. I would definitely recommend Kawano's apartment to our friends and come back again. Very appreciated the attentive of Kawano's family. With Best regards, Mio and Family

Super appartment in a really nice area. Creativity in decorating and handling the small space. One lttle remark: the bed is really small for two tall Dutch persons!

LP provided us with something you cannot usually just buy: a friendly reception from a local who is happy to provide guidance, recommendations, and tips which ultimately saved us time and money. This is above and beyond the place itself, which is adorable, design-oriented, hand-crafted, and full of charm — think Design Within Reach + Tiny House movement. Highly recommend

Lp and John are fantastic hosts! They are so kind and generous that you feel like home. I was lucky to chill out several times with them and enjoy all the tips. They made my stay an unforgettable experience. The neighborhood is for me the best part of Tokyo, easy access with a multitude of very good addresses. If you want a amazing stay in Tokyo, a full journey of laughter, happiness and adventure, do not hesitate: GO to the sweet Lp, the crazy John and the cute Psycho!

I can absolutely recommend John and LP's gorgeous place in Shibuya. Their attention to detail is impressive and they are fantastic hosts. Their studio has a unique Japanese charm. They made me feel welcome from start to finish. The place has everything you need, and is conveniently located in walking distance from the trendy neighborhoods of Daikanyama, Shibuya and Ebisu. Along with all other reviewers I have to agree: this has been one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had so far.

Evee though I had never met any of John &Lp. But I still feel very close with them. If u want a dreamlike trip, please choose them. intimate hotel and quiet atmosphere, look forward to seeing the next.

LP and Jon are great hosts who are easy to communicate with for any reasonable needs. When we arrived, everything was clean and presentable, along with a personalized welcome note. The room looks lovlier than in pictures and is an intelligently, well-designed, comfortable space that's a simple 8-10 minute stroll to Shibuya Station. Location is key when in Tokyo because an easily accessible place highly contributes to a great trip when your home is a short walk away... extremely recommended! Thank you for letting us stay, LP and Jon!

The host canceled my reservation 9 days before arrival.

We absolutely loved our time in Tokyo, very much thanks to the awesome apartment and to John who was the best host possible (LP couldn't be there). We will definitely be coming back and will be staying with LP and John for that trip as well!

The area is very peaceful and local which I am just looking for staying. Everything in the place is quiet nice and comfortable and easy to use (or make the guests feel convenient). It is 5 mins walk to the subway and serveral 24 hour mini markets are just around. It's really a good choice to stay if you are a small group like 3-4 persons. and the most important is the hosts are very kind and did their best to guide you and make your staying wonderful.

The first day of the last two days to Tokyo and have chosen to live in the host family, ideally, are a short distance from Aoto Station and Tateishi Station, to the airport and attractions are more convenient. Infrastructure facilities, a washing machine and a variety of kitchen utensils, feeling of home. The landlord is very enthusiastic, timely answers to the various questions, and when we went to Kyoto to send tram stop, rainy day umbrella also prepared to each of us. Around the house there are quasi drug stores and convenience stores, it is convenient. Good housing!

Koji and Nami were just very kind and fun host, they know how to welcome guests ! Thanks Nami for the free laundry service and drive us by car to subway station. Thanks Koji for the welcome and all informations we asked you during our trip with you. We recommand to everyone booking appartment with Koji and Nami, great services and very cheap price !

The host are really nice and considerate, they were provide lots of sightseeing information and the restaurants near around. Also, they are not tired for asking what they can help for us. The most impressive thing is when we arrived, Koji specially bring the Chinese tourist booklet and juice for us even it was raining! The house was tidy and cozy. Everything was complete. I think I would like to live in this place when I visit Tokyo again. And It was really worth to recommend.

Mr. Koji is a very friendly and kindly host. The quilts and beds in the room are extremely comfortable so that we all have a good sleeping quality every night. Besides, the kitchen equipment and tableware are very comprehensive as well,makes us feel like we are at home.

We stayed for 2 nights at first then decided to extend one more night. Apartment was amazing with all the equipments and furnitures, especially the neighborhood, Tateishi. Close to local market and train station. Koji was really helpful even drive us to JR station. The apartment quite small like any other place in Japan yet all things are functional and perfect.

koji and also Mr. nami T. Their house too praised! Very quiet and very comfortable accommodation, a short distance from the station, there are restaurants, a supermarket, drug store, audio shop nearby, everything. Most of them need to say is that it was very good, very interesting. Every time we tell intimate interchanges traffic routes, go to the convenience that we also take the Airport Express Line Station. Look forward to the next meeting, the next time you want to drink a meal together :)

Koji,Nami,Mr.T ...they are amazing people who get this place in Tokyo. That will be your right choice stay in Tokyo. My family all take beautiful memory from here.☺ Terry

The house is wonderful, a great place to stay in Tokyo. I stayed for 7 days in total and loved it. I was there by myself a lot but when Hidenori and his family were home we shared the space together and shared a few meals etc. I slept in the basement which was very comfortable and there are all the facilities there you could need. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I can't say enough about how amazing my stay at Hidenori's home was. The house is beautiful - an architectural wonder. By far the highlight of the trip was how welcoming and friendly Hidenori and his friends and family were. I got to experience a few days in their life - meeting artist friends and joining tasty home cooked meals. Thank you for the awesome stay! I would love to come back one day.

Was good friendly environment.

Great home, fantastic hosts and recommendations to some of the best food in Tokyo. Worth staying a little out of the downtown for a real experience of living in Japan.

It was a great experience living in Kyodo house with Hide and his family. The house is great with sufficient space but a little bit cold in winter in the basement. I like the neighbourhood, it's very convenient, many good food and almost no tourists. Hope to go back again sometimes.

Kyodo House was a great experience - we loved the design of the house (being architects it was of great interest to us) and the hosts were very helpful and hospitable, we really enjoyed our stay.

Hide and his family are the ultimate hosts. There home is an impressive work of design. Staying in Setagaya really makes you feel like a local. When you stay with them you feel like part of the family :)

was a good experience stay 3night here,enjoy the sun bath ard the garden and top roof…thx yours help in tokyo.

A great apartment for exploring Tokyo - close to the train station and to the minimart and little restaurants. Very clean and had all amenities I needed.

Everything about this little place was great. Very clean, bright and fresh and a great location to see Tokyo. Jaehun was very helpful and we really appreciated when he left an extra umbrella for us when the forecast said rain! Thank you.

Staying at Jaehun's place was very good! The place is small but very clean and me and by bf enjoyed it a lot! The bed is very comfortable and it's close to the train station! Great value for money!

Jaehun's place was perfect! Super clean and close to shinjuku/higashi shinjuku station. Close to nightlife and spots like Golden Gai. Great if you want to explore Tokyo!

Excellent place to stay

It was a very nice place to stay at it's exactly what it looks like. Me and my girlfriend had a great time, the host was kind and very helpful during our vacation. I would stay again.

다음 도쿄에 갈때도 다시 방문하고 싶은 숙소 입니다. 위치가 너무 편리하고 좋았습니다

房东人非常好,帮忙提行李,找路,所有要求都能满足,特别好。我特别喜欢这家民宿,很干净、所有的东西都是浅蓝色的很好看,功能全面。位置也很方便,离东新宿地铁站两分钟就可以走到。谢谢房东,很高兴住这里,推荐给大家。

Not a good experience. The room is in the basement. Bad air. The house is very narrow.

It's a small budget share room in Tokyo. It's my first time to live in a share room but it was such a good experience. The location is pretty convenient with convenient stores, restaurants and subway around. And the wash room, living room is really clean and quiet. Travellers here are very nice! Recommend every bag packers to try here!

Really cool place. Been there twice in the last month, close to everything, clean and good beds. Loved it

The place is very convenient and QUIET ~very peacful and tidy

Hiromi's place is as what you pay for. Affordable, close to lots of convenience stores and train station. She is friendly and helpful. The room is small but if you don't mind sharing a room with others than its fine.

It was my 3rd time staying there so I knew the setup. As usual, I thought it was great value to stay at the happy house in a convenient location. Each bed has its pluses and minus but overall, it was great. There is an overall lack of laundry space (especially if it's a full house) and things didn't really dry being indoors in the basement. I had my own internet so I can't comment on the wifi coverage. The D-1 bed has a raised edge so it might be cumbersome to get into the bed - however, it does have a mini shelf to store things that the other beds don't seem to have.

small but great location and great host!! also location is very central and train is a block away

Exactly what you pay for. Not much space but enough. Was clean and easy to find. I felt safe in the area even at night

I was only there for one night, and really only stayed the night; checked in around 8 or 9 and checked out early in the morning. From what I saw the place was relatively clean and well-equipped to host guests. However, the bathroom didn't seem like it had been cleaned recently; it wasn't horribly dirty or anything, just not very clean. Also, my bedsheets seemed to have bits of... crumbs or something on them. Again, not terribly offensive, but not reassuring either. There are 8 beds total, with one occupied by the host; there were two vacancies the night I stayed, but two of the other guests returned late at night, and I was woken by their conversation (though I could tell they were trying to be quiet). The place is perhaps a 15-20 minute walk from Shinjuku Station, and a shorter walk from a nearby metro station. Overall, a good value for the price; I would not mind staying here again.

Everything was great specially good location, nearby to train station & most important thing, it's nearby to convenience stores. However wifi is slow. Overall, it's value for money to stay in as it's centrally located. Would love to be back someday

The location is great. Considering the price, the other issues are OK. Owner is very friendly, which impressed me much.

If you're looking for a place in shinjuku area with convenience to train station, stores and major attractions, then Eugene's place is good. Small but good enough especially with its cheap price. Had some issue with bed covers and wifi being slow, but if you can look past all that flaws and just looking for a cheap place to stay at and still be close to almost everything, this is the place. Taxi driver and us didn't have a hard time finding his place, and we even walked to Tokyo metropolitan building.

Eugene's place was a great budget option for a night in Tokyo. Within close distance of Shinjuku station (very central) and in a quiet, peaceful neighbourhood. The facilities were very clean and the directions, extremely clear to find the apartment.

大変気持ち良く滞在させて頂きました。 ホストさんは、穏やかで優しいお人柄で、 とても安心して過ごせました。 また泊まらせて頂きたいです。 素晴らしいホストさんです(^^)

도쿄청사 앞에 있어서 하루 시작과 끝에 가보게 좋았어요 ! 주변도 주택가에 경찰서근처여서 안심됬어요 ! 칸막이 설치도 잘되있어서 좋았어요. 게스트하우스는 처음이였지만 꽤 만족했어요. 신주쿠근처에 게스트하우스 구하시면 여기가 가장괜찮으실꺼라 장담해요 !

It's an amazing deal to stay in the middle of Tokyo for solo travelers! There are a bunch of hotels, Japanese restaurants and cafes nearby, but it's pretty quiet at night. They have everything you need in the place so it was very comfortable to stay for three days. If you are looking for a budget-friendly place in the middle of the city, here is the best place!

I stay 2 nights in Mr. Minagawa's flat. The flat is right next to Higashisinjuku station (oedo line Exit A1?) and made it very easy to get to and from all of spots where you want to go. Mr. Minagawa was extremely clear with all information with check-in, made the entire process seamless. He is also very humble and friendly, replied each request in detail. About the room, clean, and comfortable (especially very quiet place here). It was a great experience for me to stay here, and I recommend. -- 地點十分地便利(大江戶線A1出口?),前往新宿幾乎用走的也能到。房東非常用心地整理了check-in的任任何資訊,令人安心。房間本身乾淨舒適並且相當安靜,推薦推薦! -- 新宿まで歩いてもいけるくらいとても便利なところで(地下鉄だとたった1駅)旅行者にとって時間は大切ですね!皆川さんは親切でなんでも答えてくれて、すごく安心感を与えてくれました。部屋自体もキレイですし、暖房と加湿器も揃っています。すべて文句無しいい経験でした。お勧めします。

It was a fantastic stay, the room is nice and clean. Minakawa was friendly &very polite and he offered to pick me up at the metro station. Cool guy and 5 stars about the experience.

The room is very clean Location is also good And minakawa is very kind. It was a good trip.

minakawa is a really nice guy,and the room is clean and convenient,nice trip in tokyo!

Minakawa Yuji is a super great host. Soooo nice . He made a link shows how to get to apartment clearly. He make coffee to me and we go breakfast together. we chat a lot. It is really good. The house is very clean and sweet. and the location is great. Just take few minutes to station. Thanks for taking good care of me. See u next time!

The host is the best part of the trip as he is always a phone message away to answer your questions. He is really kind and polite. The place is not so far from Shinjuku and near the red light district of Tokyo. I didn't know that last part, and it was a let down on my part. I would recommend knowing this fact beforehand. However, it doesn't affect your stay that much, since the neighbourhood seemed pretty safe to me. You should highly consider this accommodation if you are a young couple of a single traveler.

My best airbnb experience so far! Minaka-san is beyond helpful. Waited for at the subway to show me the way to his place. Helped me with Japanese inquiries, helped forward my luggage. The room is standard Japanese size. Which is enough for me. You share the kitchen/bathroom and toilet with Minakawa-san. It's really clean and there is some free basic stuff like water and coffee. Oh and the building is really close to a subway and easily found d. First floor too. Thanks for a great experience. I'll see you when I arrive back in Japan!

We loved staying in Yohei's apartment! The apartment is very clean and stylish and has everything you need for a short stay. The location was also perfect, very close to Shinjuku station which connects to almost every neighborhood. We also really appreciated that Yohei provided a mobile hotspot that we could take with us while sightseeing.

Nice, cozy apartment in Shinjuku. It was very easy to reach public transport, a Supermarket, combini, and various restaurants are also close by. The check in and check out are very conveniently handled. The apartment offered everything one needs, from kitchen and cooking utensils to bathroom needs. The portable wifi is perfect in order to stroll around Tokyo, away from the public hotspots. It is easily one of the most convenient and comfortable things to have. The apartment is kept cool by a.c. so you can relax and chill after a long day. All in all it offers everything for a memorable and enjoyable stay.

My stay in Yohei's apartment was lovely. The space is great--beautiful, clean and quiet. The neighborhood is super central to downtown, sights, and nightlife. Yohei was really accessible and helpful. It was also a great price for an entire apartment.

Yohei is very friendly and helpful. Very prompt in his replies. Easy checking in and out of his place

Very convenient location and close to Family Mart and other amenities. Pocket wifi also a big plus!

Yohei was very responsive and helpful. His apartment was conveniently located and easy to find thanks to detailed information provided by Yohei. Overall a very pleasant experience!

Excellent location! About 15 minutes walk from the west exit of Shinjuku station. We walked the tunnel from the west exit towards the high rise buildings, made a right upon exiting the tunnel, then left past the police station, and then left on that street (after the 7-eleven) where Yohei's apartment is located. There are several minimarts/small restaurants along the way from the train station. The apartment was newly renovated and a perfect size for our family of five. The bathroom was big for a Tokyo apartment. Yohei was an excellent, responding to our queries right away. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely come back to Yohei's apt. Thank you so much, Yohei!

Yohei is an excellent host who is very welcoming and extremely quick to respond to any inquiries we had. The apartment is clean and big. The location is very good, close to the train station and you are able to walk back from Shinjuku in case you miss the last train home!

Followed the guidance but found it very hard to find once nearing the apartment.

Good

Stayed in this apartment with my spouse, Room D for 2 nights (27 & 28/11/2015) during our short trip to Tokyo. My check in time was almost midnight and was a bit worried initially not able to find the location. Anyhow checking in was done smoothly with earlier communication with Toshi giving me the steps of entering the premise. And just a stone throw away from Nishi Shinjuku Station (Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line). From outside it looks like an old building. But it's the other way when stepping inside the apartment. Although it is a tiny apartment with narrow corridor, but it is well design for comfort. I was amazed by the amenities provided in the apartment. The unit is well kept and clean, especially the shower and lavatory. Tower and tooth brush is provided too. There's a computer available for public use with strong connection of wifi too. Washing machine is available for use. The room no doubt is a little bit small for me. Might be an issue if you're travelling with few large luggage with 2 persons staying in the room as the space is limited. Noise be also another problem especially if you're a shallow sleep person. You may hear conversation from the room next door or if someone is using the hairdryer outside. TV and air-conditioner available in the room with you can adjust to your comfort. There's no mattress available, but the quilt and blanket provided is comfortable enough to allow me to have a good rest after an exhausted day. Overall, love my stay here. What you pay and what you get at the end. Definitely will be my top consideration for my future trip to Tokyo.

This place is perfect if you are stopping by Tokyo for a quick visit. The location is just great. Close to Shinjuku station that takes you everywhere. The place is clean and really easy to use (check-in and out). Everything you need if you dont mind a smaller space - which is basically what you get in Tokyo. And the price is very reasonable.

Great location, there are a lot of nice restaurant around the area and all the basic necessity (fresh towel, toothbrush, hair dryer, etc) is provided. Free snacks are also available in the common area. However, the room I stayed in have this mildew smell, which my friend later found out it came from the air-conditioner. Besides that, the whole apartment is very clean and tidy.

Toshi gave great directions to the place and was available by phone. It was clean and new and had all the amenities plus some snacks! While smallish it was very comfortable and in a great location for walking around Shinjuku (to get to Golden Gai) or for train access to Shibuya/Harajuku etc. It was also very secure and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it! (Nice shower too :) )

Excellent place with great service and facilities

Cleanliness and good water pressure are remarkable. Pretty close to shinjuku station. On the low side, room was quite small and mattresses too thin from a western point of view.

Shota's place is clean and located relatively close to Shinjuku station! It has everything that you need. The check in and checkout process is smooth and easy. Shota also provides a clear guide to his apartment. Definitely worth a visit. The area is quiet as well!

Shota is a very caring and accommodating host! the apartment is very large and comfortable, the bathroom is slightly smaller. the apartment is located brilliantly! we would recommend people to stay here.

Nice cozy well apartment that is also well stocked with the necessary amenities. Location is excellent as it is within walking distance from two subway stations.

Shota is a very nice host. His guidance is detailed and very clear. I have no trouble to reach his room, get the key, find the garbage spot... His flat is kept clean. I had expected microwave oven, washing machine, and an iron. But that's fine even without these stuffs. The flat is close to metro, limousine bus stop, shopping area... It's easy to reach everywhere.

Very clear instruction to the place. clean, tidy and the most comfortable bed I have ever slept. Shota is helpful even thought I didn't meet him in person. Definitely worth staying.

And around the corner from the station, a convenience store was also conveniently near. Shota's advance to detailed information (place, receive, such as the method of the key) with therefore photograph sent me, check-in was smooth. The room is also very beautiful, it was clean. Towel is also very nice smell! ! All you letter was bought Re cow.

We followed the direction Shota provided and arrived the apartment smoothly. We did not met Shota in person but he prepared a warm welcome note, few crackers and chocolates for us to begin our trip with. The apartment, which looks exactly like the pictures, is clean, roomy and comfortable. We all slept deeply every night after a long day of sightseeing, shopping and eating! The location of the apartment is indeed really convenient which took us less than 10 minutes walk to Shijuku station and the shopping, dinning, and nightlife areas around. The portable WiFi is definitely a plus plus plus!! It provides strong signal both in the apartment and in the city. We had no problem touring around with (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map and some transportation suggestion apps. (You will really need these in such a giant metropolitan!!) Shota also prepares different kinds of toiletries, bath amenities and a good hair dryer (Very Important for us!!) so you can save some weights and spaces on your luggage for your new purchases. There are few 24 hours convenience stores and vending machines near by (we found drinks are often cheaper when getting from vending machines!! ) Overall we had an awesome stay in Shota's apartment. We highly recommend Shota and his apartments to people who are looking for a nice and convenient place to stay around Sinjuku area. :)

It's a nice place. He gave us detail route and guide line. And an emergency timing, he answers quickly. so we feel relived.

Its nice

Sho's apartment is super conveniently located, a pretty cute place, pretty central for getting around in Tokyo, close to many restaurants and fantastic shopping. Sho was super helpful and always communicated quickly with us. Thanks again for everything Sho.

Wonderful place to stay, travel and shop~ Shoochi is a very nice person to communicate with. We have a wonderful journey~ Unforgettable trip in Japan :)

good location, only 1-2 minutes from shinjuku-sanchome station. it was very clean and well-organized. easy to communicated with Shoichi. i would recomend this place for everyone.

Shoichi's apartment was our favourite one throughout our whole Japan trip! It was clean, well lit, with plenty of living space- the place is as spacious as the pictures look. There's a lot of attention to details from the homely decor to amenities like cotton buds. The location was convenient to get to and the surroundings were lively but still quiet at night. Shoichi was a lovely host and made us feel very welcome, the welcome manual alone was super detailed and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

The apartment is very cozy and located very near to Main Street. Just a few minutes walks to JR station and Metro station. There's a lot of restaurants and a Lawson downstairs. The apartment is quite big, we opened two big luggage for the whole time and still have a lot of space, but the bathroom is kind of small than I expected, feel a bit dizzy while take a hot shower. I found some dust on the bed and the hair dryer, also a opened facial cleanser pack in the bathtub. Sadly, the wifi was broken for the whole time we stayed. Lucky me, I have borrowed a pocket wifi in Hong Kong. The host asked me for the receipt to claim, that's very responsible, but I don't think I need it, maybe give us a extra 10% off for our next visit. I would rent this apartment for the next visit in Tokyo. P.S. Thanks for the beer and the toothbrush. I enjoyed to stay in your apartment a lot!

We really enjoyed our stay at Shoichi's place it very close to main shopping district of Shinjuku and was very easy to get to and from public transport to get to other places. His place was nice and clean and although a little small this is not unusual for many Japanese apartments. The pocket wifi was useful but was a little weak and unreliable at times. We would stay with Shoichi again and would recommend to others as well.

The place was perfect for exploring the city, close to train stations and in a great location in Shinjuku.
