HOME SHINJUKU WEST302, Tokyo

The apartment sits in a quiet residential pocket of Shinjuku, yet is within a 5-minute walk of Nishi-Shinjuku Station on the Oedo Line. Shinjuku Station, the city's major rail hub, is about 15 minutes on foot. Tokyo Haneda Airport is 21 km away, accessible by train via Shinjuku Station. The immediate area offers a laundry mat, pharmacy, convenience store, and over a dozen restaurants-including Indian, regional Japanese, and fast-food options-all within a 3-minute walk. Kumano Shrine is a 3-minute walk away, and Belle Salle Shinjuku Central Park is 500 metres from the door. This central yet peaceful positioning makes car-free exploration of Tokyo straightforward, with the bus route 51 also providing a direct link from Shinjuku Station to the nearby stop.

The apartment comprises one separate bedroom, a living area with a sofa and dining table, and a private bathroom with a Japanese-style toilet. The kitchenette is equipped with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, and kettle for basic meal preparation. Air conditioning works effectively, and heating is also available. Amenities include a towel set, bedding, and a hair dryer. Some units on the third floor have a balcony and a partial view. The space is described as spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a well-organised IKEA-style interior. The balcony provides an outdoor element in the otherwise quiet, residential setting, and the apartment's location on the third floor (no elevator) adds a step to access but keeps noise low.

Guests can prepare their own meals using the kitchenette's stove, microwave, kettle, and refrigerator. For eating out, the immediate neighbourhood provides a concentrated food scene: a 0.5 km radius includes Matsuya, Indian Restaurant Khana, Cochin Nivas, Regional Cuisine Oidon, Coco Ichibanya, and others. A McDonald's is directly outside the building. Within 0.5 km, the New York Bar adds a cocktail option. This selection covers Japanese fast food, Indian cuisine, and local specialities, making it easy to eat without travelling far. The area includes a supermarket for groceries and a food store for supplies.

For outdoor leisure, the apartment's location provides immediate access to green and cultural spaces. Kumano Shrine offers a quiet, scenic spot for a short visit, while the nearby small park is a peaceful area for a morning or evening stroll. Belle Salle Shinjuku Central Park, 500 metres away, provides a larger open space suitable for relaxation or a light jog. Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is within a 15-minute walk, offering expansive gardens and a Japanese landscape. There are no on-site spa, gym, or pool facilities.

Internet is free of charge and works in all areas of the apartment. Check-in begins at 15:00 and check-out is at 11:00. The host is proactive and communicates quickly in English and Japanese; they can assist with luggage on arrival and departure, which is practical given the no-elevator access to the third floor. No daily cleaning service is provided, but the apartment is clean and well-maintained at check-in. Pets are not allowed, and the entire apartment is non-smoking. There is no on-site parking, but a 24-hour paid carpark operates nearby. A laundry mat is located within a 2-minute walk for longer stays.
