The room was very spacious and the bed was really comfortable. Even though the room is on the ground floor and below the railway lines, it gets quite a lot of sunlight from both sides of the room. The shower has great water pressure and easily adjustable heating. I was staying for a while so I cooked a lot, which was relatively easy to do. It would have been nice to have a larger pot to cook in, and more space and bowls to prepare ingredients, but it was manageable anyway. The host supplied cooking oil and salt, which was really convenient.
Josh is an amazing host, super helpful, friendly and always replied quickly. He came round once a week to clean the room as well.
The location is great as well. I purposefully chose Shinagawa-ku because I do not know the area well, and wanted to get to know it. There are loads of beautiful parks around the port area and nice canal-side walks further north as well. The apartment is close to a few, small super markets and convenience stores.
