We had a wonderful stay at one of Norimasa-san’s Tatami rooms. His hospitality was exceptional - we felt so warmly welcomed. He checked us in personally, helped us with our luggage, gave us very helpful tips on the neighbourhood and where to get some great food and cheap groceries, and more! He even came to say goodbye personally and gave us a very thoughtful farewell gift. The room and bathroom were sparkling clean and very comfortable to stay in. Because the room is situated on a busy street with various izakayas and karaoke bars open till late, it can get a bit noisy at night - this was very honestly communicated to us by Norimasa-san so we were prepared and had ear plugs with us. I’m a light sleeper, and the noise did not bother me too much, even without ear plugs. I slept well through the nights. The slight noise is a very reasonable trade-off for the value of the room and the extremely accessible location of the apartment block. It’s a short walk from Nakano Station, which conveniently takes you to Shinjuku and other central areas within minutes. It’s also a short walk away from Nakano Broadway, and there are so many wonderful eateries and izakayas peppered across the neighbourhood. I would highly recommend staying at this listing with confidence. Thank you, Norimasa-san!
