This is our first time staying in the Shinjuku area and Shizuka's place is a nice treat. We did have one issue but it was easily resolved by myself, temporarily, and also permanently by contacting the host.
Shizuka provided clear and easy directions to find the place. We enjoyed using the place as a base to explore the nearby restaurants, coin laundry which is just a few steps away, conbini markets and the Shinjuku Sanchome and Shinjuku JR stations.
We'll have to come back next time to explore other parts of Shinjuku as we kept taking the local and JR trains to make day trips elsewhere.
Thank you Shizuka and Beck and your team for hosting us.
