Good location which is near to Ikebukuro station as stated in the listing. However, the area is near to some clubs, they didnt bother us (maybe they knew we were tourist and with family). The accomodation is at the west of Ikekuburo, and there is a underpass to the east side (imo faster as compared walking through the station). The east side has many eateries too. Generally, I'm satisfied with my stay at this accomodation. Sato has been a good host too.
