静 is an amazing host! She is very quick to respond, and she is very thoughtful. She is able to communicate in English, Chinese, and I believe in Japanese as well.
The house itself is amazing. It looks exactly as shown in the pictures and we were actually surprised that the place was bigger than we initially thought. The house has 3 floors, on the first floor you would find the shower room and two huge rooms. One of the rooms has a huge bed with a couch, and the other room is a spacious room where you could set up futons to sleep on. On the second floor, you have an amazing and comfortable living space. There is enough room to have multiple people sit and hang around, and there is also a huge dining table along with the kitchen. On the second floor, there is also a small toilet room. On the third floor you have two bedrooms, each with two beds, and there is a small toilet room on the third floor as well. Overall the place was exactly as described and as shown as the pictures. However, we were quite impressed with the size of the place as it was bigger than we anticipated.
Check-in was super easy, 静 was especially helpful by allowing us to drop our luggage before our check-in time.
The house is very clean, and the amenities provided exceed our expectation! When we usually book an AirBnB, we expect the basic amenities provided such as towels, hairdryer and etc. However, 静’s space goes above and beyond by providing additional amenities such as a toothbrush for everyone, water and juices, snacks and fruits, all types of body and hair soap, tissues for every room, additional pillows and blankets, and etc.
The location - the house was a bit difficult to find at first; as we did not follow the picture instructions provided by 静. If you follow her instructions, I'm sure that you would have an easy time to find it as well. For us however, we relied on Google Map to find it and we had slight difficulty finding the house. We finally realized that the house was the one right at the fork of the road. The location itself however is very great! There are a lot of food joints and places to drink and eat around the area. Although in a quieter neighborhood, the night life here can be quite lively if you walk about 5 minutes into the main roads.
Overall, the host was very great and the house was amazing. If you're looking for a place to stay near Shinjuku, I would highly recommend this one!
