This was my first Airbnb experience and it has spoiled me! First off, Manami was an incredible host. She picked us up from the station even though our train was late and I couldn't properly contact her until I could mooch wifi in odd places. She was always really responsive and very kind and welcoming. Second, this place is amazing! The apartment is actually more spacious than I expected. It's extremely clean and has everything you could want, including a small kitchen. She even stocks the place with some small snacks for us. There's also a bed and tv if you want to get a taste for the local media. The bed is lifted as you can read and see. If you're the type of person who gets up a lot throughout the night, you may want to steer clear or sleep on the couch. I definitely thought about moving the mattress to the ground floor as going up and down was slightly tedious, but ultimately worth it for this great place. The neighborhood is amazing and will unfold in front of you if you do some exploring. There's apparently an amazing tempura place that we didn't get to, but maybe next time! The train station is only 7 minutes away by foot so it was extremely convenient. You're only a few stops away from Shinjuku if you want to move to a more lively neighborhood at night. Overall, this was an amazing experience and I'm so thankful for Manami and welcoming us to Koenji and making our first trip to Japan amazing!
