The place was pretty clean. There were fresh towels and bedsheets waiting for us when we came. All appliances were working well and no weird leaks in the ceiling or anything. Location was awesome. Really a great choice for travelers since it's really close to Higashi-Shinjuku metro station. The station has a lift to the platform that is just a minute away from the house. Really good for people like us with baggages. Shin-Okubo station was quite a walk away to the apartment but it's still walkable.

Unfortunately due to time constraints, we weren't able to meet our host Kayo, but her responses via airbnb was really quick. Also, she has an eye for detail on our needs as tourists and provided us with pretty nice information such as wifi before we went on our trip.

I'd go back to this place again any time.. like I said earlier, location couldn't be better . There are many local stores on the street to the house and quite a few 24 hours convenient stores and food outlets in the area. There is also a drug store nearby (1 minute walk too).
