First question being, would I stay here at this Airbnb again?
70% yes.
40% no.

1. I was very glad to find a whole apartment for a great price in Shinjuku, pre Japan reopening.
2. The first issue came up with our check in. Since this is a no person to person interaction Airbnb, it has its pros and cons. We were not able to get into our apartment for about 2-3 hours after we had arrived, due to the key code being different then what we had received in the check-in paperwork.
As our batteries for our phones and laptops were dying, we were finally able to get things figured out, and received at one of the two correct codes need for the keys.
This was a bad start.
3. We get in, and a very surprising and unfortunate smell was the first thing that greeted us into the apartment.
It was a combination of dirt, dust, and the fact that the building is older, and Japan gets humid. We were not happy about the first few hours for sure.
4. The room was not as clean as the picture show
