My stay at Tokyo Candlehouse went way better than I expected. As my first real AirBnb experience, it definitely took away all the worries I had about the concept of staying in someone else’s home. The hosts, Kayo and her son, Ryuta, were extremely accommodating with my arrival schedule and making sure I ended up at the right train station. It’s not too far from the hustle and bustle of the lively Shinjuku nightlife so if you find yourself staying out just a bit too late and missing the last train, the usually-high taxi prices aren’t as bad — walking might even be an option (taking about 30-40 minutes). I’ve already booked my second stay with them for when I return to Tokyo in a few days!
