We loved Ryota's place. It was exactly as pictured. Quite large by Tokyo standards, easily accommodated a family of 4 (teenager and preteen included). Stairwell up to the 3rd floor is quite steep and might be hard for those with large luggage, no trouble for our group, with carry on size bags. The location is in a quiet part of Shinjuku, which we really appreciated. Very close to subway station too. Communication and multipage instructions with directions made finding and getting in a breeze. I would come back, and highly recommend Ryota's apartment.
