Machiko’s place was in a really good and trendy location, right off the main road in Shin-Okubo and by Kabukicho. Very close proximity to JR Shin-Okubo and Toei Oedo Subway Higashi-Shinjuku stations. Lots of late night food and amenities available in the area. The place is small, but normal with Japanese standards. Don’t expect to do any cooking in her place, as there’s plenty of food nearby. There is a small fridge to keep drinks and snacks inside. The heater worked well and so did the hot water for the shower/bath.
Machiko was very quick with communication. We got lost originally and needed help, with quick response. They were also issues with neighbors being too loud, which she responded immediately to.
Her place is in a great location and is a great value. I would stay here again.
