Location: ~170 feet (~50 meters) away from the west gate of the subway station. Extremely easy access to the subway. Using Oedo line, you can reach the center of Shinjuku in 15 minutes.

The room: the bed is comfortable and clean. Ample space for one person. Private toilet room, shared bathroom (shared with the host). Sofa, table, TV and a small closet included as shown in the pictures. You can also use the kitchen, though I didn't. Shared space in the house is also tidy and clean. It is very quiet at night (I didn't stay in the room in the daytime.) Mr. Noboru seemed to be the only occupant except me. No wifi though.

The host: Mr. Noboru is a great host. He had been very helpful and responsive throughout my stay. He led me to the house from the subway station when I first got there. He made a map of best cherry blossom viewing sites for me. And he even offered different types of snacks every day during my stay, which I very appreciated.
