Kevin's place is located in a great residential area which I have stayed in. Its 2 stops from Shinjuku station and it'sabout 20 mins wall if you're up for it. It's 10 mins walk from the apartment to the station which I don't mind as you get to walk past the countless eatries and shops. I love staying in Hatagaya! Kevin's place provides all the basic amenities needed and whatever else you need, you can buy from the few convenience stores located few mins away. Kevin is also very responsive with replies and always quick to answer any queries. Overall he is a great host.
