The hosts allowed us to check in 30 minutes earlier than the check in time (4pm). They are very prompt in responding to every inquiries we had. Location is 1 minute walk from Shinjuku higashi station (Metro line) and 15 minutes walk from Shinjuku station (JR line). The place is near and very accessible to 24-hr convenience stores (Lawson, 7eleven and Family Mart), mini grocery stores, Mcdonalds and other 24 hr restaurant. Overall, we had a great stay. We will recommend this to our family and friends.
