Steven was a great host and communicated with us well before arriving in Japan. He gave us very detailed instructions on how to get to the apartment from landing and kept in contact until he met us at the train station.
The apartment was well equipped and had everything needed. Aside from a kitchenette in the room, there was a shared kitchen with a washer/dryer (some places to hang clothing outside as well). There is not much storage space for many bags but we were comfortable enough with two carry-ons and large backpacks. Beds were comfortable, couch and sitting area were cozy, the shower was extremely clean and just big enough for us. There were no noise issues either.
Being less than 5 minutes from the Shin Okubo station on the Yamanote line allows for good access to most of Tokyo in under an hour. The Main Street near by had plenty of different convenience stores, restaurants (Thai, Korean, Japanese, etc) and activities (karaoke, arcade, pachinko). This was a great place for our first few days in Tokyo. Less crowds and hustle/bustle of Shinjuku yet with a similar vibe.
