The place is not far from shinjuku at all so if you know your way around tokyo, this place is pretty convenient, especially for the price. It is an old house, as the description states so as long as you are used to living like a local, you should be fine. Since its winter there's no getting around a cold bathroom because its all tile and no ventilation so you must open the window. The space is very large, especially for a place in tokyo so thats awesome. Larger than many hotel rooms in the city, to be quite honest. No noise from neighbors, and if you're cold, just reach out to Cathy. SHe'll offer heater and more blankets.
