The location of this place is good, being walking distance to a Life supermarket/pharmacy/department store, multiple convenience stores and a some late night food as well. A slightly longer walk takes you to some of the best ramen shops in Tokyo, including Mendokoro Shinohara near Kannemecho and Kikanbo in Ikebukuro area. Space is small for two people, but it is comfortable to rest in after a day of exploring. Room controlled heating and thick blankets were more than enough for the cooler nights.
