Pro:
- Location. The house is on a quiet street in the Korean town area of Tokyo, just one stop on the JR line from Shinjuku station. It is only 1 minute to the busy big street. There are plenty of food options and convenience stores within walking distance. On the other side of the train station are tons of Japanese food. We had no trouble finding new things to try.
- Communication. The host left very clear translation and explanation on all household devices, including the bathrooms and recycle instructions. I asked him a couple questions and he responded very fast and with detail. It was a pleasure to communicate with Lei.
- Overall experience in the house. It is a 3 story house with bathroom and sink in the 1st floor. The 2nd floor has a kitchen sink and 3rd floor a toilet with tiny sink. We used 2 out of the 3 bedrooms for our family of 3. There is enough space for us and we had made great memory buying grocery and dining in the house.
A little improvement would be very nice:
- The 3rd floor bedroom we stayed doesn't have a curtain. So we're awoke by sunlight very early every day. It would be nice to have an option to block sunlight. This is the bedroom on the right from the stairs.
- Could use more clean hand towels. There was none in the 3rd floor toilet room and we had to take our wet hands downstairs to dry it.
- The house is pretty cold every morning in the winter. Remember to put on socks before walking upstairs/downstairs to turn on the heating AC in the living room.
Overall it is a good stay at Lei's house. We stayed 3 nights and had many happy memories. I'll recommend him to friends and family. Thank you for sharing your house with us.
