Koichi is truly a superhost! He goes beyond expectations. Weeks before our arrival he made sure we had all the details available. He replies to our queries quickly too.
We arrived at the airport very early and took the Limousine Bus Service (no trains were running yet), and Koichi graciously picked us up from the Bus stop closest to his place. This was 2 in the morning! It was December and he welcomed us with pastries and hot tea too!
Then, on our last day, he kept our luggage while we leisurely explored Shinjuku and brought it to us at the station when we were ready to depart for the airport. We didn’t have to worry about pulling heavy bags around!
We experienced Koichi’s warmth and generosity from the moment we met him until we said our goodbyes.
The neighborhood was quiet and was a short walk to the train exit. So many convenience stores along the way. There was a Daiso close by too. It was quite a safe area as we usually got back late evenings.
