Jojo's house was perfect for our family of 5. With 3 tall teenage boys it was a true luxury to be able to find a home in Japan where everyone could find their own space! The has a beautifully equipped kitchen, of course the teenagers also enjoyed the free WiFi but we we all really appreciated having two toilets and washing machine too. Ikebukuro was a good location as it's on the JR Yamanote line which is the loop line that circles Tokyo and is covered by the JR travel passes. We'd suggest following Jojo's detailed instructions on how to find her place, as it is confusing to find the correct exit from Ikebukuro station. I'd also think twice if you have small children and maybe get a cab, as it's a good 20min walk with luggage. Highly recommended!!
