The host and the room were really exceptional! If you don't want to read my detailed review of how awesome it is, read the first line again and have another summary: If I were to visit Tokyo again some day, I would rent this room again if I could, of course.

#01: Ohkubo was really nice and gave us a very warm welcome. When we got to Shin-Okubo we really needed to drop our luggage as we just traveled from Kyoto but we were sure if the room was occupied previously and that we might not be able to just drop our baggage there. But to our surprise, it wasn't occupied the night before BUT the room was already made up for us, the sofa was adjusted to become a bed with a futon already laid on top of it. Additionally Ohkubo left us with a welcome note and some snacks!

#02: The location is very convenient and easily accessible as it is just 1 local-line station away from Shinjuku! And if my memory serves me right, 2 stations away from Harajuku and 4(?) stations away from Shibuya. ALSO, Shin-Okubo is a mini Korean town with a lot of Korean food around, PLUS POINTS if you need to get some kimchi fix! But of course, convenient stores are still, as always, EVERYWHERE. HOORAY TO THAT!

#03: The room was really great, it has enough space for 3 person and could probably fit up to 4 or 5 if you don't really have much baggage. There is also a mini kitchen with a mini refrigerator, a microwave oven and a small stove with exhaust fan installe. BUT there is still enough space to walk around.

#04: The bathroom is clean and relatively big, as the toilet seat is in a separate room itself. That being said, there will be less of a problem when one needs to take a shower while another needs to answer nature's call.

#05: THE WIFI is really awesome! So far, for the week when we were using it, there didn't seem to be any maxing out the network quota and suffering a snail connection. It was more that enough for navigating around and still keeping in touch with the outside work via the Interwebs.

I think I've basically covered every thing that needs to be reviewed about this place. But I said it once and I will say it again, if I were to visit Tokyo again some day, I would rent this room again.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE HOSPITALITY OHKUBO!
