So worth it!! It was a wonderful place to stay. Clean, convenient, cheap! There are 2 local train stations nearby (~7 min walk) and JR Itabashi station is a 20 min walk away. You can even walk to Ikebukuro (~30 min walk).
The host, Kazushi-san, is really nice and friendly. Very helpful and clear with instructions. Very responsive and proactive.
Would definitely recommend this place! And would definitely stay again!
