When we came to the apartment there was a handwritten note welcoming us personally, as well as a pair of souvenir gifts, which meant we were off to a good start. The bed was comfortable, and appliances worked as described. The host went above and beyond with service, even offering to clean our room for free once during our stay.

The apartment feels really central, with the walk to Shinjuku being a left turn out the door, and then straight forward. We walked there most nights instead of taking the subway. The area is really nice, with lots of Korean places around (there's a place right around the corner on the main street that serves a Korean fondue - go there!). However, some nights the nearby restaurants play music, which can be heard into the apartment. It's really not a big bother, but if you require absolute silence to sleep then this might not be the place for you.
