Our stay was comfortable and self-check in was easy. The building is nice, clean, and has an elevator with enough space for 2 people with luggages, and small/tight stairs by the room door. The room is small (studio with bedroom and living room in the same space, but separate bathroom (with laundry and sink), separate toilet room which is nice, and separate kitchen (each has its own door) and the view is limited, but it comes with many thoughtful amenities, including laundry and kitchen detergents with plenty of hangers in the closet and hanging bars to hang your clothes in the bathroom (with heater/ventilation unit) and in the living area (with ac/heater unit), bathroom (shampoo/conditioner/body wash) and cleaning products, TV with Netflix (also Amazon if you have an account), unlimited pocket WiFi already fully charged (dope!) in addition to home WiFi, and umbrellas! There is a small microwave, cute electric kettle, small fridge, 2 burners, and plates/bowls/cups/glasses/utensils/pot/chopping board/knife/scissors, etc. in the kitchen. Plenty of wall plugs and an extension cord with USB by the bed. Extra pillow, blanket and towels are in the closet.
Although it’s a small space without much view (very tiny patio), the location is fantastic! It was easy to find and is near Higashi-Nakano train station (3-5 min walk and only 2 stops from Shinjuku!), restaurants (ramen, tempura, pho, izakaya, CoCo Ichibanya curry house (sooo good!), pizza, steak, Italian, Indian, etc.), bakeries, Mister Donut (daily visit is a must! lol), convenience stores (Family Mart, Lawson), pharmacy/bank, tons of beauty/hair shops, cool t-shirt/graphics store, cool thrift shop (across the street from the station), grocery store and small organic shop (several blocks away) are more than expected!
We would love to stay here again and highly recommend others. We wish there were 2 keys or a keypad to enter the unit. Also, a later check out time (perhaps 11 pm) would be preferable. Otherwise, thank you for providing a comfortable clean space for your guests! Please continue your team’s great work! I personally cannot wait to return to Japan! 😃
