Miko’s place is exactly like in the photos.
LOCATION: 5 minutes walk to Higashi-Shinjuku station, 10 from JR Shinjuku and other JR stations for those with JR passes. It is a bit loud at night but what apartment in the city isn’t? Convenient to everything and has 7-11, Lawson, and Family Mart nearby.
CHECK IN: instructions were clear, but i did have to ask how to open the door the first day hahah. Other than that, it was easy to find.
AMENITIES: comes with everything you need without even having to go to the convenience store. extra towels, shampoo, conditioner, etc. everything’s there.
CLEANLINESS: 10/10. What can I say? Super clean. There’s also cleaning products in the closet.
APARTMENT:
- Entrance: Slippers, umbrellas, and even place to put your shoes. Perfect. **REMINDER: take off your shoes before you step into those wood floors :)
- Spacious bathroom: I love how big the bathroom is. Compared to other Airbnb’s and even hotels I’ve seen around Tokyo, the bathroom here is spacious.
- Balcony: My all-time favorite place to go was the balcony, especially in the morning to eat breakfast. Also great for people who love to people watch LOL.
- A/C: The A/C is nice and quiet. Easy to use and can even set a timer.
- Washing Machine: The washing machine is great for a minimalist traveler.
- Storage: storage is great. Comes with a large closet with hangers, and anything you need for your clothes. There’s space under the bed, the closet, and even the coffee table which has drawers.
CHECK OUT: Fast and simple. Make sure to put everything back, clean up, and just let Miko know you left.
HOST: Miko responds quickly, and I thank her for answering every single question I had as a first timer in Japan. Thank you for making my stay wonderful :)
Overall, a great experience for my first time in Japan. Absolutely loved the Airbnb ^-^
