This is such a lovely place away from the busy areas of Tokyo, but it's still easy to get to places like Shinjuku and Shibuya. If you're looking for a homey vibe during your travels, I suggest this place. Everyone was also very cordial towards one another so it was easy to make new friends here. It was extremely clean, which I didn't expect since it's a shared space. The bed was comfortable and that's coming from someone with scoliosis. The place is exactly how it was in the photos. There are a lot of restaurants, cafes, and bars nearby. You have to try the Udonya Tenteko (うどん屋 てんてこ). It's probably just a 5-minute walk and you won't miss it if you're going or coming from the station that's a 10-minute walk away. If you like going to live music bars, I suggest the Penguin House because they have a discounted entrance fee for foreigners, cheap drinks, and talented musicians! If you need a drink and you want to go somewhere really nearby, go to this bar and grill called "Red Lights", if I remember correctly. You can find it before you cross the street.
Cons would be the water in the shower because it doesn't stay hot for too long. After a few seconds, it would turn ice cold. I don't know why that is, but it really bothered me especially during times I was in a hurry. There's also a flight of stairs to go to the rooms, so if you have a heavy luggage with you, you're going to have a rough time. If these things won't bother you, you won't regret booking this place. The owner was also very nice and they have a dog named Rin-kun!
