Koichi is indeed a superhost! He went out of his way to pick us up from Shinjuku station with his van and give us a ride home to the apartment. It is only a 10 min walk from the station and a less than 5 from both a Family Mart and 7/11, but we visited during typhoon season and were incredibly grateful we didn’t have to walk with our luggage in the sweltering heat. He even dropped us off at the station upon our check out and departure from Japan. He is that friendly and kind.
The apartment is quite spacious and can comfortably accommodate up to 5 people, though we were only a party of 3. There were also two large bottles of water and some pineapple juice in the fridge when we arrived! The space is clean, well stocked with towels and other amenities. And the location was an amazing base for exploring Shinjuku, Shibuya and Harajuku.
I highly, HIGHLY recommend Koichi and his apartment — I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
