Our stay was a very peaceful and relaxing one, being in the Shinjuku area we very much needed to wind down after some very high paced days. Kevins apartment provided everything as advertised and more, his rapid responses and genuine care for his visitors made us feel very comfortable.
The streets up by Hatsudai station had some of the most delicious restaurants we had in Japan, at a very affordable price. My personal favorite was the soy ramen bowl which absolutely outclassed the Ichiran Ramen shop that seems to have gained a lot of tourist attention.
Overall the stay did everything as advertised and more, we are actually so pleased we are planning another trip to Japan in the coming years with hopefully Kevin as our host.
