I have had the best time in this little flat! I spent two weeks there perfectly at ease, glad to come home to it every evening. The flat is ideally situated, very close from the Nishi-Shinjuku gochome station on the Oedo line.
So, it’s close enough to the metro station, and all the convenience stores such as Family mart, Lawson… but far enough from the busy main avenue. The street is very charming, very quiet at night. You will feel you’re part of a typical Japanese neighborhood, which I really enjoyed every morning.
There are numerous restaurants around, a marvelous coffee place (the counterpart gallery) very near, so your everyday life will be easy to arrange.
The building is new, so is the flat: spotless, super clean, all cosy and very bright.
Everything you need is in it, from the kitchen to the bedroom, and the bathroom is surprisingly large.
I never heard the other tenants, maybe because they were quiet or maybe because the flats are very well soundproofed.
The procedures to get there, then into the building and flat are easy and provided in advance. Same with the check-out system.
There is no lift, so be aware of it when you bring heavy luggages.
Jun is a great host who will respond to your messages and inquiries very fast, so it’s reassuring.
I have tried other places in Tokyo before and this one is definitely my favorite: great place for a reasonable and affordable price!
I will return there next time and I suggest you give it a try as well: you won’t regret it.
