Host communication was very good, with really helpful directions and a simple access method. The listing was a bit more on the affordable side, so you get what you pay for. IMO, the photos are better than the actual experience. All the amenities are available, but the layout of everything is not quite premium. Bathroom is good...fresh sealed towels are provided. Flip flops are provided to wear at home, which is always welcome. Also, the umbrellas provided turned out to be very useful.
The futon looked kind of shabby...probably due to the faded sheets. While the massage chair is probably a selling point for some, I’m not sure it’s a very hygienic or comfortable seat. Overall, with the lighting, things tend to feel pretty dull in the apartment.
If you want to be in Korea town, this location is perfect. We still appreciated being close to Shinjuku central, with access to train stations within a few blocks
