静’s place was a lot larger than we expected. Our party of two travelers was able to open both our large suitcases and lay them flat in the space. The apartment was stylish and appeared to be newly remodeled. Entering the apartment building and the apartment itself was extremely convenient and easy.
Location: The space's location is second to none -- right across from Tokyo Metro Higashi-Shinjuku Station and within 1-2 minutes of 7/11, Family Mart and Lawson's. There are also many restaurants around the place that are open late into the night. There was not much noise during the day or night time. JR Shinjuku Station is about 15 minutes of walking away.
Check-in: Travelers will need to follow the house manual to locate the apartment building and obtain a code to enter. Once inside, guests will need to use the iPad to be connected to an operator to verify passport information. There are two language options -- English and Japanese. The operator will provide a code needed to enter the apartment room. The process was painless and can be done in less than 5 minutes. From then on, residents can use the two codes to enter the building and room freely.
Space: The apartment is true to the photos on the listing. We enjoyed the decor and the pink toilet paper provided. The room is also larger than expected and provides adequate walking space.
Amenities: True to the listing. The washer and other home appliances were up-to-date and functioning well. We used the washer many times without difficulties. The only problem was drying the laundry as the apartment does not have a balcony. The bathroom was spacious and allowed for a bath or shower. Dishwashing liquid, detergent, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo and body wash, 2 small towels and 2 large towels were provided. In the future, a shoehorn can be provided for travelers who have leather or high-top shoes to make putting them on easier.
Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our experience and would not hesitate to book again on our next trip to Tokyo.
