Mark's AirBnb in Shinjuku was an incredible stay for our trip! Five of us Aussies travelling Japan stayed in Tokyo for 5 days. We chose Mark's AirBnb as it was close to Shinjuku city, walking distance from the train station and because the house could comfortably sleep all 5 of us with privacy. Most AirBnbs we researched had a lot of share rooms for a group larger than 2. Mark's AirBnb has three bedrooms each with a double bed. We had 2 couples and a single in our travel group and found this to be the best layout to allow for our privacy whilst travelling.
The location was great! Two streets into the Shinjuku suburbs from the city, it was amazing that one moment we were walking in the hustle and bustle of the Shinjuku city and then all of a sudden in a quiet lovely street. The location is great for those looking to travel Tokyo. It was only a 15 minute walk to and from Shinjuku train station which would then allow us to travel to other locations such as Akihabara, Harajuku, Shibua and Asakusa (for example). The street the AirBnb is on is very close to a FamilyMart and a 7/11, also if you want a good drink in a quiet bar, I would recommend going to Bsus4, there are also mutiple restaruants and cafes. Finally in from the AirBnb you can walk to some iconic areas in Shinjuku such as the Golden Gai, Memory Lane (Piss Alley) and Robot Restaurant.
The AirBnb itself was clean, quiet and well laid out. How to access the keys was simple, Mark had slippers for the house as it's Japanese tradition to not wear shoes within the house. There's a bedroom, toilet and bathroom on the ground level, the kitchen and living area on level 1 and another two bedrooms and a toilet on level 2. There is also a rooftop area with access. All bedrooms were very comfortable, the bathroom, living area and kitchen all was easy to use and clean. Overall the AirBnb was comfortable and was the perfect home away from home.
Mark was an awesome Host! He was very quick and responsive when we had any questions and ensured anything we didn't understand was explained thoroughly. Thank you Mark for your hospitality! We definitely recommend staying at Mark's AirBnb!
