Chika's place is cute, spacious, and conveniently located. The street itself is quiet, but you are ten minutes from Kabukicho nightlife. Convenience stores are 3 minutes away, a grocery store is 5 minutes away, and dozens of restaurants are between 3 and 10 minutes away. Vending machines are literally out the front door. Higashi-Shinjuku station is 3 minutes. So the location is great for Shinjuku and access to public transit.
The space was comfortable, with all the amenities you'd expect (AC, gas stove, plenty of dishes and cooking utensils). Only down side was the entryway smelled of mildew, which really stinks when you come home on a hot day! If not for this, we would have left 5 stars.
Thank you!
