Guest Reviews

• Erica (9/5): Perfect Shinjuku stay - Location location location!! And nice room, very handy to have private washing machine in this humid weather Nothing
• Sierra (10/5): Highly recommend accommodation - Location, very close to JR train lines and central location to main street, with restaurants, 7/11 and Don Quijote. The accommodation supplied most basic amenities and had a washing machine, towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
• Shubham (10/5): It was perfect, best price had all the facilities and lovation was perfect - Clean, comfortable and location
• Tamani (9/5): Great spot in the city - Perfect location close to the station and the apartment was spotless and a comfortable spot for our stay. Host was super responsive Nothing!
• Zoe (8/5): Very good - Comfortable apartment very well located, everything you need for a city trip to Tokyo, makes you feel like a local living in Japan!
• Kian (10/5): Very comfortable and clean room! - The location is fantastic, and the room is super clean and neat. Feels good when you come back from a long walk. Properly the on-going construction work next door but not much disturbing.
• Dave (10/5): Exceptional -
• Angelique (7/5): Could be great but missed the mark in so many areas. - Really great location close to Okubo Station and Shin Okubo Station which made it really easy to get to other areas. Also a 15 min walk or so to main Shinjuku area. The apartment also offers a bit more space than Japanese hotels so we could comfortably lay two suitcases on the floor open and still walk around easily. The property was relatively clean except for some signs of wear and tear and tooth paste stains in bathroom. Self check in was pretty easy, definitely note however that some instructions for the different keys might be handy for foreigners who have not see that type of apartment building entry key before. We booked this property for the convenience of having a kitchen and more apartment feel over a hotel so we could cook and do our laundry at home. However this apartment is purely a shell with the bare minimum (not even). You’re provided with 3 x small bath towels and that’s it. So if you want a bath mat or hand towel, that’s not provided. Even though there is a hand towel hanger in the bathroom. There is also no dish towel or anything to dry your dishes on, we ended up not cooking because of this because how are you meant to wash up and dry everything whether that be on a rack or with a dish towel. Additionally if you do want to cook they’ve provided you with knives but no chopping board. There is a wash to dry washing machine with laundry liquid however it does not (we tried many times) dry your clothes fully so you’d need to dry them out. We looked throughout the whole apartment for a clothing rack to dry our clothes and towels and there was nothing. You’ll have to go use the coin laundry nearby but if you have delicates you’ll have to hang them in the bathroom and hope for the best. Like a previous review mentions, the bed slats underneath are not secured fully or are broken so throughout our stay at various points the bed would randomly make a loud noise and sink through the slats as they fell off the frame. We were constantly having to readjust these or just try sleep on one side of bed. The bed sheets are also extremely cheap and polyester so constant static. There is a window right next to the bed also with no curtain so the room remains bright and gets extremely bright in the morning long before you want to wake up. The main curtains on the balcony also are not black out and do not extend fully to the ground so there is light pollution there as well.
• Juliana (9/5): A gem in Shinjuku - I definitely recommend - The space was clean, very spacey for a solo traveler or even a couple, the facilities were great (loved the bathtub!!) and it even had a small kitchen equipped and a washing machine. It was also so close to the subway and so convenient, great region with restaurants, convenience stores and everything you may need The heating system took a second to work and it was quite cold at first. I also found the keys a little hard to figure out at first, as I have nothing like it in my country and there were no instructions
• Omer (8/5): Very good - The location is excellent! Right by the metro. The apartment's size was good, it was clean, and it was very quiet. The host could have been more responsive to our questions. While the washing machine was very convenient, the drier didn't completely dry out our clothes.
• Cyrine (10/5): Exceptional - Ideal location. Clean and modern flat. Responsive owner. Just perfect
• Pedro (5/5): Passable - The location is good. The price was divided in two. I saw in booking 40 euros and finally it charged 72 euros (40 for the stay and 30 for the clean). The host was not helpful with the chick in, which is already late 16:00.
• Ching (10/5): Exceptional - Very close to station even can walk to Sinjuku Also the bus is very helpful to get to shinjuku as well
• Elena (9/5): Superb location and comfortable apartment! - Great location, nice 20 minute walk to Shinjuku or two metro stations right by. Room was very clean, comfortable and made us feel at home. Description in booking.com lacks info. There is WIFI and three towels were available. Unfortunately there is no hand or dish towel, which made drying dishes hard. We bought one ourselves at some point.
• Ben (7/5): Good -
• Daksha (10/5): If you want a local feel but close enough to the action this is the place for you. - Location, Location, Location. It was perfect for exploring multiple districts of Tokyo. Easy access to train lines and walking distance to shopping hubs. The apartment was very clean and quiet which was greatly appreciated.
• Javan (8/5): Very good -
• Helena (9/5): Superb -
• Alberto (7/5): Bad start - Location Instructions sent over message were different to those on the property page AND they were wrong!! It took us half an hour to figure out that the message with entrance instructions was wrong and to find something else because the owner was unreachable over phone. Bad bedsheets No towels
• Ana (9/5): Superb - The location is great, it´s very close to Shinjuku. The instructions for collecting the keys lacked clarity, perhaps because it was my first time using this type of mechanism.
• David (10/5): Exceptional - Exceptional location minutes away from Shinjuku. Fairly large compared to Japanese hotel rooms. Excellent value for money. Overall very positive and would definitely stay again. No big problems but suggestions for improvement: A bit basic in terms of decoration. There is a small window next to the bed which gets very bright in the morning. Lastly, it could be useful to have more instructions in English (washing machine, heater etc.) although it was not a problem for me as I was travelling with a Japanese speaker
• Seline (10/5): Exceptional - Great locations and hosts, very comfortable and clean, we had a great stay!! Highly recommend and would stay again
• Anonymous (7/5): There is no possibility of staying here again or recommending it to friends. - Location is quite ok On the day of check-in, a lady came to tell me how to obtain the key. This lady is supposed to be an employee, not the owner, so she has no smile at all and her attitude is very rude. 1. The accommodation cost is relatively high compared to the same area. 2. The washing machine is very dirty. 3. There is a lot of dust in the house.
• Rubin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Siti (10/5): Good Location with lot of eateries, konbini and market - We stay here for 8days . The room is very minimalist and clean with basic cooking amenities, fridge, and washing/dry machine . Location near Okubo station and 7-8min walk to Yamanote Line + just a few step from Okubo bus stop . There are plenty of konbini and supermarket near the property if you want to buy groceries for cooking ❤️ It would be nice if the pillow is more firm. but no worries it just a matter of preference
• Walid (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mendonca (7/5): Good -
• Best (10/5): The best stay we’ve had in Tokyo. Amazing space and very clean with good location. - The room was big compared to other places in Tokyo. You have walking space and room to actually open your suitcases. The place also felt like home and very clean. The host was very helpful with quick reply at all times. The location is superb. Really wanted to stay longer but always booked up. Highly recommend this place.
• Kendra (10/5): Very lovely stay, very affordable. - Very good location and amenities. Super tidy and easy to access from the train station. Owner is very easy to communicate with and very kind and helpful. We had a lovely stay here. Would definitely recommend 😊👍🏻 A bit difficult to open mailbox, maybe helpful to have a picture of the compartment above the mailboxes where the combination lock is as the design is minimalist and we weren’t sure where the combination lock was.
• L (7/5): Good -
• Scott (10/5): Exceptional - location was great - host was very accomadating
• Yi (8/5): Value to stay in Tokyo. - I like the location which is close to Ōkubo and Shin-Ōkubo which is very convenient for us to hangout around Shinjuku and Shibuya, and it’s only a few stations away. Also the price is affordable for three nights stay here, overall, it’s a very decent and convenient, would come back again.
