Pros: Lori’s place is considered spacious compared to other Airbnb in Japan. It’s new on Airbnb therefore everything is in good condition and clean. All that you need is provided even washing machine and detergent. Location is great as there are a few train stations to choose from. Each station is about 10-20mins walk away. Solo travellers to be cautious because you need to walk through Tokyo’s red light district, Kabukichō from Shinjuku. Plenty of convenience stores and korean food around as it’s also near Japan’s Koreatown. Really fast response from the hosting company for Lori. Communication is on point.
Cons: Every so often there will be loud police/ambulance siren driving pass at night. Also, got woken up by weird & gross noises made by the neighbour next door at 2am during the weekend. Walls are thin.. Bed was very squeaky even with the slightest movement, host needs to replace/fix it. Bring noise cancelling headphones if you’re a light sleeper.
The toilet has no bidet washlet, just a heated seat :( The only heater in the apartment was the aircon so it’s too far to reach the other side of the room. Suggest to have a heater near the toilet too as it can get really cold after a shower.
Most importantly, we enjoyed our stay in Tokyo and Lori’s place. Thank you!
