The location of this apartment was ideal, Lawson mart right below apartment, across the street there's 2 supermarkets and another mart, family mart and 7-Eleven within walking distance. 2 Coin Laundry shop across the street (and its very cheap to wash and dry clothes). It's in a quiet neighborhood, quick access (less than 10mins walk) to Ikebukuro Station and it's convenient as its on the Yamanote JR line.
Room wise, I find the place is just nice for 3-5 people, rather spacious, and it's exactly like the picture, however the partition for the common area bedroom to the dining area is no longer there, so if guest sleeping in that room who wants some privacy, you will have to shut the dinning area door instead. The toilet door do need some force to open, and the heater in the tatami room is not as strong. Other than that, Nobu's place is really close to perfection, I will definitely come back again.
