Pencil House - 10 mins walk to Shinjuku

Ashley and Tracey were super helpful and the house is very well equipped to give you an “at home” feeling. The house is a bit crowded but it is well noticed that Ashley and Tracey thought about every little detail and what can help to get comfortable.

Could help if the washing machine was also a dryer but it was very easy to hang laundry on the balcony and even there there’s everything you may need…

The accommodation was very clean and had everything you needed in it ,beds were comfortable and it was a straight walk to shinjuku station Adult family of 5 with a baby, even had a portable cot and baby gates Host was very helpful and always available if we had any questions 😊

Sehr gute Lage, aber etwas laut wegen angrenzender Hauptverkehrsader. Direkt nebenan ist ein 7/11 und die Metro ist in 5 min zu Fuß erreichbar. Das Haus hat alles was man braucht, bei dem Preis hätten wir aber etwas bessere Qualität erwartet (z.B. bei Betten und Sofa). Für uns drei Personen war das Haus trotz tiny Bauweise recht geräumig Dank drei Schlafzimmern.

Es gibt nur ein WC, das im Erdgeschoss unter die Treppe integriert ist und somit sehr sehr beengt ist.

Everything at Pencil House was wonderful….great location, a clean and well stocked house, comfortable beds in efficient air conditioning, and helpful friendly welcoming hosts. Thank you for an amazing stay!

It was perfect for our family of 4 to explore Tokyo

Relatief veel ruimte midden in de stad.

Even lekker zitten was niet mogelijk. Bank was te klein en de krukjes bij de eettafel waren ook niet super comfortabel

Maison spacieuse pour Tokyo nous étions 5 et avions largement l’espèce pour vivre Très bien placé à 10 min de la grande gare et 10 min du parc Yoyogi Bon petit resto à 3 min Et un 7 eleven a 2 min Je recommande

Un peu trop de lumière dans les chambres au petit matin (levé du soleil à 5h30 am en été !) mais sinon parfait

This is a great house away from the hustle and bustle of Shinjuku and Shibuya. It is a short subway ride from Shinjuku (Hatsudai Station, or you could walk). You could easily have a family of six in the house. We had a family of four. There is a 7-11 within eyesight and a larger grocery store about a block away. Several good lunch and dinner places within walking distance and open late. We loved the Mini-Indian restaurant. Easy walk to Metropolitan Government Building. There was light road noise which I find comforting, but you may want to include earplugs for light sleepers. Felt very safe and kids ventured out on their own.

I liked everything about this property, but you need to build in travel time. Look at your itinerary and the metro lines to see if this would work for you. You will likely need to transfer at Shinjuku which is a complex station. I found Google Maps underestimated the time needed to transfer platforms and lines.
