Fantastic place to stay in Tokyo. Great for solo travelers who are on a tight budget. Highly recommend. Not having a shower in the home did not bother me however if you are thinking of staying out all night and partying, you may need to organise your bathing times as you could end up going to bed sweaty and stinky. It is a challenge to get up the stairs to the apartment if you are traveling heavy however once you pass that point it's smooth sailing from there.
