We loved staying at Letitia's house near Shinjuku. Being in a residential neighbourhood was great as we felt we were living among locals. We quickly learnt our way around and to the nearby restaurants, shops and stations. It's a reasonable walk to Shinjuku, but a very easy walk to Okubo and Shin-Okubo stations. It was very quiet at night, while close enough to the action. The kitchen was functional and we could make breakfast and bring in dinners when we wanted. We loved the shower/bath room and the japanese bath. The two pocket wifis were also super helpful for our family of 5. Letitia was an excellent communicator - both pre-arrival (when our flights changed) and also on arrival and met us at the Airport Limousine Bus drop off and took us to the house. There really wasn't much we were left wanting.
