This place is only a few minutes' walk from Ikebukuro station, despite being tucked away in a quiet residential street. We had easy access to the trains and nightlife around the station, but we didn't have a problem with noise or falling asleep. Sato was very clear about the instructions for entering the apartment and we had no problems getting there. Be aware that if you decide to do laundry, the apartment contains a combined washer/dryer machine. This is convenient, but takes a very long time.
