Staying at Manami's place in Koenji felt as if we were actually living in Tokyo! She was so accommodating, especially with the check in time. She offered to pick my friend and I up at the station, and show us the way to the apartment. However, we were running late to our check in time, but she was very understanding! In the end, her father was so kind as to pick us up from Koenji station and give us a ride with our heavy luggage to the apartment. We are so appreciative of Manami and her father! The apartment is definitely in a very convenient location, as it is close to Koenji station, which is a short ride to Shinjuku, from which you can catch many different train lines. When you arrive at the apartment, you have everything you could need, because Manami has already prepared it for you. I highly recommend Manami's place for a more local feel when staying in Tokyo for a short period of time.
