Taturo san was very hospitable and communicative throughout our stay at the apartment. His thorough instructions were very accurate and as he says the apartment is literally a 3 minute walk from the station. The apartment is small but comfortably fit two adults and our lugguage (2 large packs). The neighborhood is very residential but as with much of Japan there's tons of hidden jems around. We found great coffee within walking distance and some nice late night yakitori spots as well. Again the station was so close that getting around didn't feel taxing; 20ish mins to Ikebukuro..Great spot to rest up when exploring Tokyo.
