Koenji is a great neighbourhood; very cool alt-urban vibe, while also un-pretentious (eg compared to Shimo-Kitazawa). Plus being on the Chuo line makes it easy to get elsewhere in Tokyo (just be careful as some trains on this line don’t stop at Koenji). Apartment is easy to find, well located with many nearby places to eat & drink as well as basement music venues, curated used clothing stores, and not far at all from the station. Junko is a super responsive and helpful host. So, some really big positives. Negatives? Well, the apartment is not large, though fine by Tokyo standards. OK for two who are friendly/intimate. Toilet placement in the bathroom is awkward for people over 5’ 9” (front is very close to a wall). The bathroom could also really use an exhaust and heater; tends to stay a bit damp (at least in Winter). Not a lot of natural light in the kitchen/dining/lounge area. Ideal for folks who are going out a fair bit; a little less suited to being a lounging chilling space.
