Seagull's place was so great. It's a private apartment with a lot of amenities for it's size. It's located within walking and biking distance to a lot of really cool areas: Koenji, Nanako, Shimokitazawa, and Kichijoji. It's also not hard to get to Shibuya.
The best part is the cool bike that Seagull let's you borrow! Biking in West Tokyo is quite doable and very fun, so try it if you can!
Seagull himself greeted me at the nearby station for check-in, which is a super easy walk down a nice market street to the apartment.
I would definitely recommend Seagull's place, especially if this is not your first trip to Japan.
