Ohkubo’s place is great: location is amazing (30 seconds from Higashi-Shinjuku station, food/convenience stores just steps away), you have all amenities for a short stay, and the beds are super comfortable! Here are some tips to help you out if you’re staying:
The place is great for a couple or few friends, but may be small for more than 3 people. If you’re tall, it’s quite cozy but you get used to it: both my parents and I stayed for 4 nights and we are all 6 ft tall.
If you use a curling iron/straightener, I suggest bringing a mirror since there is no electric outlet in the shower room. The lighting is amazing in the room though, so it’s better to do your make up right in the common space!
The washing machine is nice, but the bathroom dryer made my clothes a bit stiff. If you don’t want to hang dry your clothes, there’s a laundromat just a 2 minute walk away!
Aside from these tips, we enjoyed our stay! Ohkubo is great with communication and will response to your every question and need! I recommend this place to anyone who’s low maintenance, wants a great location, and appreciates convenience :)
