Ryota’s place was exactly as described. It was close to Shinjuku station (one stop away via metro), very clean and affordable for Tokyo standards. Not having an elevator in the building was not a major issue for us. It is technically on the 4th floor but for American standards, walking to the 4th floor feels really like walking up two floors. The apartment is tucked away from the main street so our stay was pretty quiet, which was nice. Also, Ryota and the team was very responsive to our inquiries. If I was in Tokyo again, I would definitely consider staying at Ryota’s place again. Thank you again for hosting us!
