Lina's place is in a great location, only 10 mins by train to Shinjuku station. I loved how it was a little outside of the "downtain" area and more residential but still close enough to all the action. I appreciate seeing how locals live and I got a view of that by staying in Lina's place in Honancho/suginami. Beautiful, cozy and quiet neighborhood to walk around. Room was exactly as described. It is very traditional Japanese style room so be prepared to sleep on a thin futon, no thick futons by American standards. Coming from America where you are used to so much space, this style of living was beautiful to see. Stairs were steep and small and ceiling heights definitely lower than american standards but it wasn't out of place, that's just how things are there and I love that about staying at Lina's. I got a real taste of how people live in Tokyo. Lina always stayed in touch with how things worked, she was so helpful during my stay! Lina helped with my laundry one day, she made tea, and even light snack and breakfast pre and post drinking. Lina and Noah gave me tips of where to go to see or eat and even took me to an onsen and local bars one day. They were great hosts with a cute Pikachu also. Pocket wifi was so clutch also! A must have when traveling around Japan. Overall great stay with Lina and Noah and cant wait to stay again!
