Tom’s apartment in Shinjuku was the perfect home base for exploring Tokyo. It was a short walk to two different subway stations and I was never far from my destinations each day. The apartment is facing the street, but I didn’t notice any street noise while sleeping. Tokyo apartments are going to be ‘cozy’, that’s the way it is in a city this size. This apartment is perfect for solo travelers or for couples. Tom was also a fantastic host; he was very helpful with some extra questions I had and was always so fast with his responses.
