If you're interested in staying in Shimokitazawa, this place will give you a perfect taste of the neighborhood. It's nestled on a side street between several arcades, record shops, bars, and vintage clothing stores. Yes, it is very loud - one night the record store on the floor across played 70's soul records until 9am. So don't stay here if you're looking for quiet. But if you want an awesome, clean apartment minutes from the station and close to a ton of awesome things to do, this is your place! K is also a super-friendly host, and made the logistics as easy as possible.
