Yuka has been a great host before we booked till the end of our stay.
As we will be arriving earlier than the check-in time (with two kids (4 & 1 yo in tow), she was open for earlier check-in provided that there is no cleaning or booking before our stay.
The place is walkable and near to the train station (Higashi-Ikebukuro). There were two Family Mart(s) that were around the area as well.
The place is as advertised although a little dusty but not really a problem. The stay was a comfortable one.
Recommended!
