In Yotsuya, only 4 minutes from the nearest subway station, 30 minutes from my work, and about 25 minutes walk from Shinjuku.

The rent sure isn’t cheap, but it’s quite big and gets plenty of sun, and I didn’t have to pay key money. The landlord also provided a refridgerator and a washing machine, and curtains – yes, you usually need to buy your own! And it includes free broadband internet as a nice little bonus.
