    The shower curtain didn’t close completely.

    It offers a private bathroom, and a shared shower. The shower is only shared with one other guest. So, it’s not a problem.

    It is very close to subway station but it is take ~40 min to arrive to city centre. There's strange story with keys: you have key from you room, but it's not suitable for the apartment door (I tried) and if it suddenly closed you in trouble. Employers are in the place from about 11 am to 4 pm.

    It is very little and cheap place, there you have basic things: bed, common shower, individual toilet. Even microwave and refrigerator.

    The bedding was sufficient but I didn’t like the choice of duvet and sheets- felt a bit synthetic. The room was clean but a bit rough around the edges, felt well-used. It may not be suitable for very tall people, as the bed was on a loft with not much ceiling space above. I often hit my head on the underside when standing up from the desk underneath. The office seems to be staffed minimally and it seems common for them to be out cleaning rooms. It was difficult to find a staffperson to talk with face-to-face. It is also a bit far from the city center. Not walking-distance to anywhere majorly metro.

    Very close to the train station, room felt private and everything was sufficiently clean. The kitchen had basic cooking utensils and plates/bowls provided, and the shower had body soap, shampoo, and conditioner provided as well. The neighborhood felt very peaceful and less popular for tourists. Good for those who don’t like the hustle and bustle to be outside their door.

    The host handles payments but i understand that a lot of guests arrive late night and check out early next day so the option to leave payment in the envelope (if you choose to pay in cash while booking) kinda not safe for the traveler and potentially could lead to the double payment.

    Easy to get inside, great cost/location-comfort ratio. Quiet neighborhood with good groceries stores. Just 40 mins away from the city center by metro.

    I loved having a private room with a workstation to myself so I could keep my laptop on the desk and come back to it whenever I wanted. The property is surrounded by convenience stores, supermarkets and some restaurants while being just a few minutes away from the nearest metro station.

    The thin curtain in the bedroom does nothing to hide the sun in the morning, so i got up as soon as the sun went up. The bed is pretty thin too so sometimes it is a bit uncomfortable because you can feel the wood under, but it's not really bad

    It's a big house for only 3 people so it's really nice, a lot of facilities and private toilet

    It was dirty, the beds werent beds, they were flat pieces of wood with a paper thin "mattress" ontop. They were hard to get up to and the ladders used for them were dirty and I didn't want to use them. The curtain over the window didn't fully cover the window, and the balcony it was attached to was attached to another room, meaning another guest could easily see me sleeping or changing. The elevator to the property was absolutely filthy, and much of the property was filthy.

    It was near the train station.

    Room was clean and comfortable, and the air conditioner was new and efficient. Nice smoking area close by. While I did not meet the hosts due to self check-in, they were nice and very accomodating when I made a mistake with my check-in. It's out of the way in Itabashi, but you have everything you need nearby.

    Amazing stay for price and quality ratio

    When showering, you had to wait about 1 minute for the hot water to start going. I had a bunk bed so it was a little bit tricky to climb up, but you get used to it. From the nearby station, you need around 45-60 minutes to get to Shinjuku, Shibuya, Akihabara, Tokyo Centre, etc and it costs around 2€ for one direction. I am 190cm tall and I couldn't fully stretch in bad but it wasn't that a problem. The light above the bed and the table did not work but I didn't need them anyway.

    It was nice and better than expected. The private room you can lock for this price, its amazing, all other options were capsules or shared dormitory rooms, but this deal was amazing! You have your own not shared restroom (without shower) and your own bed, air conditioner, wardrobe, desk, etc. The shared shower wasn't a problem at all, there are 3 of you who are sharing it, I have never waited in the queue to shower, so it was like it was all mine and not shared. You get slippers, towels, shampoo, hair fan. It's amazing! You have a shared kitchen but I didn't use it. Wi-fi was free and great! Check-in and check-out were as simple as grabbing the key from the box and returning it there. There was 7-Eleven right across the street so it was really good, the station is also very close about a 3 min walk, so it's amazing!! I was here for 10 days and I would come here again because this deal is really amazing!!! There is an elevator in the building. There are a lot of wall plugs in the room.
