Hi, this property is located in quiet, upper middle class neighborhood of suburban Tokyo. I grew up around here so I know. It is very close to station, about a minute walk, and just 10 minutes to Shinjuku, 5 to Shimokitazawa. Express train stops at Kyodo, so you don't have to switch to non-express train. An Odakyu bus also originate from Kyodo to Shibuya, making it a convenient transportation that you don't have to stand all the way. Also by the station is a shopping complex with higher-end supermarket "OX" (a more value supermarket is just behind- Ozeki). There is a university on other side of station, attracting college students traffic and a lot of reasonable priced restaurants. It is known as a battleground for Ramen shops (around 10). There are 2 sushi (Sushi-ro and Choshi-maru), 2 taiyaki, takoyaki, okonomi-yaki, hand-made mom/pop udon restaurant, and many more. All within 5 minute walk from station.
If you are on a $10/night budget, you can look for seedy tourist hostels in Okubo area and such, but if you are looking for pleasant and peaceful stay this property will please you.
Miyuki was always communicating, making sure that our stay is pleasant and that we are enjoying our visit. They are not running a large multi-property Airbnb business, they are offering a part of their lovely home for travellers looking for a great experience.
