Loved the feel of the area. Conveniently located near two train lines. Local stores right around the corner. I would definitely stay here again. The apartment was small but it’s what I was expecting and served its purpose. Overall I was very satisfied with my time here.

Not the fault of the property owner but we had a struggle getting the heat pump to cool the apartment. We also had trouble figuring out the washer/dryer. Everything worked we just weren’t familiar with the controls.

Great for the price!
This place is a one bedroom studio that can accommodate up to 5 people. The beds are comfortable and the place is clean. It’s close to Korea Town and has a lot of dining places within 5-10 minutes walking distance. The area is quiet and clean. There are many convenient stores nearby. It’s a nice cozy place and I would stay here again.

This little apartment was clean, comfortable, and located nicely within walking distance of three subway lines. It had a washer, mini kitchen, and even a Dyson hairdryer. The shower was great, the AC worked well, and I would stay here again. The only thing I would say is this is a hotel for independent travelers. There isn't a front desk, so no one will help you get around the city. If you can use Google and Japan subway app this is a great affordable place to stay. Located in the center of Tokyo near Korea town and just one subway stop away from the bustling Sinjuku neighborhood.

Cosy place for one/two families who want something more than just a hotel room and wouldn’t mind a bit of walking to transport. Good amenities and good communication about check-ins and check-outs.

For budget stays
Location was nice, within walking distance of Shinjuku center. Room was very small for family of 4. Beds were rather uncomfortable.

It's like our home away from home. The place is homey and comfortable for our family (2 adults, 2 kids). The room is quite big for a Tokyo standard. Everything that we needed for our 5 days stay was available. The area where it was located is safe and kid friendly.

Check-in and check-out were simple and well explained by the documentation given by the host. It is a little bit of a walk to the trains, but there are plenty of interesting shops to visit along the way.
