This place is in an extremely close location to the Higashi-Nakano (around a 5 min walk) which connects two stops away to Shinjuku.
Having a convenience store just 2 mins away from the place was also nice.
Like other reviews have mentioned, the bed was pretty stiff. It was pretty bad to the point where I couldn't picture staying two weeks in the place because of it.
I noted the problem to Aya and immediately in the next two days did an amazing job of mitigating the problem by eventually purchasing a nice and thick mattress cushion!
One thing to note about hot water - if the heating unit is on, but you're not getting hot water, do the following:
- Turn off and on the heating unit. Wait around 1 minute and test.
- If no hot water, then exit the apartment, and open the large side-panel to reveal a gas distributor. There is a rubber button on it. Press and hold for around five seconds to reset it.
- Then off and on the heating unit and wait around a minute or two and test again.
Aya and her team is the definition of a super host - fast communication and will do what it takes to make your experience great!
Would definitely stay here again!
