Shizuka is warm and welcoming. The instructions are clear, detailed, and friendly! I wish we got a chance to meet the host during our 5-day stay, but Shizuka makes sure that your experience is as good as it can be.
I know Japanese living space is typically small, but Shizuka’s studio was a bit bigger than I imagined. Still tight, but we had space to move and set our things and had access to a balcony and a kitchenette. Plus, there are drawers underneath the bed to help organize our belongings.
Comfy bed, warm shower, and kitchenette are all great, but you want to be at this place because of the location. Less than 10 mins to nightlife, but the street is just out of the noisy bustling area so you can sleep uninterrupted at night. 7-11 is just a 20-sec walk from the building, which was super convenient for us. There’s also an awesome okonomiyaki restaurant on the next block over.
One small improvement: I wish there was a small table or something to eat/drink on, but that’s about it! Not a dealbreaker at all.
This place is worth a look if you’re looking for a quiet night’s rest within walking distance to Shinjuku’s renowned shopping and nightlife. And Shizuka’s hospitality is 5 stars. Thank you again Shizuka. You are an amazing host and we would love to stay at your studio in the future.
