Great location if you intend to use the accommodation for sleeping purposes.

The hosts were very responsive and the location was amazing. They were quick to response to our inquiry to check in our bags early and provide very specific documents as to how to locate the accommodation and information regarding the accommodation. It is very close to everything but far away from all the noise which was great.

− The bathroom is very outdated (especially to Japanese standards). The hot water heater was not operating with the controller turned on. We have used a couple of identical controllers previously, but it still did not work in this case, and there were no detailed instructions as to how to get the hot water working. So we ended up having only cold showers. The ladder not secure and didn’t feel safe and the light upstairs did not work. Unfortunately, we found the cold water showers a big dealbreaker.

The location was excellent.

− The wifi never worked for us. Tried resetting the router. Also the cold air on the AC does not reach the loft where the beds were so it was really hot to sleep. Was also very small, I understand that's typical for Tokyo. Also the shower curtain was dirty, had mold on it...

Location, close to Yoyogi station ( JR and metro lines) and less than 15 mins walk from Shinjuku. Quiet too except when noisy neighbours ( 2 nights of Japanese neighbours making a lot of noise from 11pm to 12h30) as walls are paper thin

− The ladder up to the bed located on the mezzanine is dangerous- one slip and you could have a serious accident. The ( small) main living area is dominated by 3 enormous rubbish bins. Really not normal to have these in the living area and take up so much space. The cheap curtains barely cover the ( small) windows. As it gets light at 5am, not good for sleepers who need dark. I have stayed in several appartments in Tokyo and all provide washing powder for the machine. Not here. When I asked where I.could buy a small quantity, they could not help, although this must come up often. Limited powerpoints - Only one free; all the others used for fridge, tv etc Bathroom- first time not had a Japanese style toilet, tiny mirror, shower curtain falling apart and full of holes. Worst of all, after I left, I received an e mail with a photo of the bedsheet showing small stains for which they proposed to charge me about 15€.! Really, sheets and towels get stained. Never has any accomodation I' ve stayed in ( hotel or apartment) ever done this. Totally ridiculous, no self respecting provider of accomodation would dream of doing this. And this is not some retired person trying to make a little extra income by renting out a room. This is a business owning several similar style rooms in the same building. Very poor experience and overpriced for the quality of accomodation
