Great stay, we highly recommend staying here.
Pros: This was a very cosy unit with super comfortable beds. We stayed as a family of four with two teenagers for five nights. We knew it was going to be on the small side from the reviews so no surprises there. The washing machine was very handy to have. Great location, 7/11 nearby with easy walking to nearby restaurants. We happily strolled around Shinjuku most days. We did use luggage forwarding so that we had less luggage in the unit. The owner was fantastic with communication.
Cons: The bathroom is small but we knew this prior so it wasn't a problem for us.

Perfect location, excellent host, ideal for an out-and-about traveller <178cm
Pros: AMAZING location - like 10/10. It's super close to so many things and yet still super quiet. Very easy check-in with lockbox and the host gave every single bit of information before i arrived, including a full document on how to find the apartment and a video as well. Also provided some things to wash clothes with, some shower lotions and snacks etc Bed is super comfortable. A/C works well. It's great to have a washing machine and outdoor area to dry clothes.
Cons: I am 182cm tall and there is a beam in the centre of the room that I hit my head on several times, so ducking to avoid this every day was slightly annoying. There's also a metal vent in the kitchen area that I hit with my head several times as well. The shower is very small and although my head did not touch the ceiling in it, it felt very cramped and I couldn't move my arms freely, so i used the shower in my gym instead. Finally, there is no furniture to sit on. There is a small coffee table but no chairs (in fairness, the ad's pictures show this). Still, it seems unusual to have no place to sit to eat or work, if you are no comfortable sitting on the ground. I bought a small stool from IKEA but there was still no desk/table. Personally, I would remove one of the double beds and replace it with a desk/table.

Pros: Cozy place, quiet area, neighbour respect silence, AC worked properly. Host is attentive and communicates immediately.
Cons: Bathroom was tad too small for already 80kg guy, but you can bear with it. Space itself is smaller than in pictures.
