While it was a little cozy for three American girls with the luggage to prove it, you cannot beat the area in Shin-Okubo--it's adorable, active, and yet still feels small. Plus, if you like K-dramas or K-pop, you'll get extra love out of the area (the Korean barbeque nearby was amaaaazing). It's very convenient to the station for those using JR passes, and a lot of small amenities were provided and appreciated. Thanks for a great stay!
