Tracey and Ash's house is exactly as its name. The Pencil House is tall and thin. But don't let its appearances fool you. There was ample room for 6 adults and never felt like we were in each others way. The house was very clean and stocked with essentials. The traditional style bath was a new experience for the visitors and the fa mouse washlet was the popular feature amongst everyone.
The location is perfect, a short walk to the Oedo Line and the walk to Shinjuku station not too far. Although the house is adjacent to a busy street, because it is a few meters away, you don't notice the traffic noise.
Tracey and Ash was very accommodating during our stay. My friend had to do the check in process and everything went smoothly. They kept in touch throughout our stay to make sure we were happy. It was a pleasure to interact with them.
If you're travelling with a group of people or family, the Pencil House is perfect.
