Ryo was an incredible host providing very detailed instructions in English on how to get to his place as well as written Japanese instructions for us to show a taxi driver if we needed to (which we very much appreciated after getting a bit lost and needing help with directions).
The apartment is decently sized for Japanese accomodation but on the smaller side for two people, however the location was fantastic and meant we were rarely at home.
Only two stops from Shinjuku and very easy to navigate to, the location meant we were able to head to the mountains and more rural Mt Takao in one direction and on the one train but also into town with ease.
I also can’t recommend the curry pan from the bakery literally at the doorstep of the apartment enough.
Ryo was also incredibly responsive to all messages and made our stay very welcoming.
