The apartment is conveniently located near the Daitabashi station (a short train ride on the local line from Shinjuku) and is also walking distance to hip neighborhood, Shimokitazawa. The room itself is pretty compact. The bunkbeds were too small to fit two American-sized people on one mattress so my partner & I ended up sleeping on separate top & bottom bunks. There is a bigger sleeping area in the loft but it requires climbing up a ladder. Also as others noted, the stairs going up to the apartment are relatively steep so not ideal for those who have trouble climbing up & down.

The host was friendly & helpful. He picked us up at the station and helped us get settled in. We had a couple issues starting from the first night: toilet leaking and nocturnal creatures noisily scratching / nibbling. Thankfully, the host was able to fix the first issue by our second night. Hopefully the latter will be resolved soon so guests can get a good night's sleep!

All in all, this is a decent short-term option for a single person or a couple friends.
