Kota's place is very clean and comfortable. They provided good amenities like glasses, a stove, toiletries, and a microwave. The space is good for 1-2 persons and the beds are very comfortable. It's a bit of a walk from the nearest JR and Metro stations (there was a hill to go up to for each station but still manageable), but we were able to rest well when we got to the place. It's also a very quiet neighborhood with nearby convenience stores in case you need to eat or buy something quick. We also liked the local candy shop and the shrine near the Metro station. I would recommend going around the Toshima area as there are some nice attractions if you don't mind walking around. The Metro station is just one stop away from Ikebukuro so it's easy to get to many places from Kota's place. Overall I had a very pleasant stay here.
