The house was located less than a minute walk from Shin-okubo. Shinjuku is around 15 to 20 minutes away on foot which makes the location superb. It’s around 8-min walk from Shin-Okubo Station of JR line and more or less the same distance away from Higash-Shinjuku Station. There are convenience stores, restaurants and supermarkets nearby.
The house looks newly refurbished and all the facilities look new. We had a bit of the problem with the water heater but it was resolved within the day even if it was New Year. The host is very accommodating and courteous and tried to answer all our queries to the best of her abilities.
