M’s place is very small, but we knew that before we booked and he has utilised the space really well. There were two of us and we each had a large suitcase which restricted things like getting ready at the same time or being able to open both suitcases, but this wasn’t a huge problem. The bed space was comfortable and warm even in very cold December. The apartment is a ten minute walk from three smaller nearby stations, and about 20 minutes from Ikebukuro station. It’s a lovely quiet neighbourhood with 7-11s nearby (with international ATMs). It was nice to get away from the busy-ness of Tokyo and stay somewhere more peaceful while being able to get into the centre quickly. Perfect for 2-3 nights if you want somewhere clean and comfortable to sleep at the end of the day.
