Yoko and her husband were fantastic. Their place is massive. If you want to experience a taste of living like a local then this is a must. It is a short walk to the Nogata station. Then it's about a 10-12 minute train ride into Sheibu-Shinjuku station which is right next to Shinjuku. Trains leave pretty much every 10 minutes. You can get lost in Nogata itself with so many great eating places and bakeries. This is my third time to Tokyo and have stayed in Yoyogi previously but enjoyed this more so as you will live like a local yet a stones throw from all the action. And the house is fantastic and rightly priced. Totally recommend it.
