This was our (husband and wife) best airbnb experience to date. It is also a great deal for those looking for a high quality to cost option in a great location.
Aileen provides everything a customer needs: easy to follow instructions to find the place, bilingual instructions to use the tv, convenient washer/dryer, water heater, towels that match the number of days a customer will be staying and of course the ever important hair dryer - all without you ever needing to ask. She even preset the netflix account to provide Korean subtitles since we came from Korea.
This was the cleanest space we have ever stayed in. From the bed and sheets (which also had the most comfortable pillows) to the floor, dinnerware and most importantly the bathroom, there was no fault to be found; not even a speck of dust. A true 5 star experience.
In terms of location it is a quick walk to Nakano station which is a few stations removed from Shinjuku. There are numerous tasty restaurants, supermarkets and fast food options to choose from. The nearby Royal Host Diner is open until 3 am for those of you that arrive late. Use google maps for ease of navigation when using the metro and you will have zero issues (especially when travelling to and from the airport). Pro tip: check out the North-side of Nakano and the vast maze of alleyways full of tasty izakayas and restaurants after you exit the North Gate of Nakano Station and bear right.
