Fully equipped
Pros: I’ve been in many places, this one is by far the most equipped one! They have from universal adapter to hair straightener! 3min from jy station (which is not included in the metro lines but the cost is only ~1€). Great area to stay. Quick response by the host and they have even Netflix account! Recommended 100%
Cons: Just perfect

Recommended place in Shin Okubo
Pros: Everything was good, the host was very kind and helpful when we needed, also the other staff member was amazing during our checkin 3 mins from Shin Okubo station, in a place very busy and full of young people so its definetly recommended for nightlife and places to eat and drink open all night long, there is also 3 konbini very near to the house, we came home late every night and never had problems Its also very close to Shinjuku and Kabukicho, we stayed here for 5 nights and it was the best base for our Tokyo tour

Cons: Maybe a touch damp but we found that with a lot of properties in Japan

Pros: Check in instructions were easy to follow. The room was spacious for Tokyo. I loved that there was space to unpack our suitcases, something we found was lacking in other locations we stayed. The location itself was amazing. Tugged away in a side street so no noise disturbance from the main road but close to the station and easy to get to all the places we wanted to see in Tokyo. There is a washing machine and a small balcony to dry the clothes.
Cons: Because we stayed for a little over a week a broom would have been nice for some basic cleaning of the floor. A full body mirror or at least a bigger mirror than the small one provided would have been nice as well. Besides that we had a great time.

Almost perfect little place near Shinjuku
Pros: The apartment was close to a couple of train stations, so the city is open for exploration right from your doorstep. The room had everything I was looking for our trip: bed, washroom, washing machine and probably (since we went in the summer) most importantly, an AC. The room was quiet, nothing disturbed our sleep, even though it's next to a busy street.
Cons: There wasn't a bathroom sink, big enough where you can wash your teeth, which was odd.

Pros: Very good location close to the Yamanote line Shin-Okubo station, but far enough from the main road to be quiet, with the apartment being on the ground floor. Lots of food nearby, especially Korean. A convenience store just down the road. Room is typically small, but with a small kitchen and washing machine, and a place to hang clothes to dry. There is a desk and chair suitable for laptop use. Plenty of supplies (soap, washing powder, toilet paper, etc.) and enough clean towels for our 2-week stay. Clear instructions on finding and entering the room. Queries were responded to quickly, and we were able to check in early as cleaning had already been done when we arrived. The place was mostly clean, except for a bit of mould at the bottom of the shower door. Generally a good place to stay in a great location, especially if you want to do some cooking.
Cons: For a 2-week stay, since there was no cleaning during that time, a broom and dustpan, or a vacuum cleaner, to clean the floor would have helped (though there was a rough broom hanging outside by the garbage bins). There is also no bathroom, just separate toilet and shower, so the kitchen sink needed to be used as a basin. That area is a bit cluttered and there's no decent mirror, only a small desk mirror, which was very inconvenient for my wife. More hooks and/or rails near the shower for hanging towels and clothes would also help. The kitchen could also do with more utensils. We ended up spending a few dollars at Daisō to get more things to make cooking easier and some suction hooks for hanging things. The internet occasionally cut out as well. Mostly it was okay, but sometimes it would cut out completely with my laptop indicating no internet at all. Those periods were fairly short though, usually less than 15-20 minutes.

Love it
Pros: The location is spot on just in the central of shin okibo area which is a Korean town superb i guess. Great price for such area ! Also the apart is only 2-3 mins walk from the train station and only 10-15 mins walk to Shinjuku main area where the godzilla head is. The shops are just one minute walk from the apartment but i didnt get noisy from the outside at all. Definitely will come back here again
