Stayed for 2 weeks and had a fantastic time! Location is conveniently located near the JR Ikebukuro North exit, just about a 10min. walk. There are plenty of 24/7 convenient stores, late night restaurants, as well as a mega Don Quijote within walking distance. The host's hospitality as well as communication are outstanding! Check in and check out was also very simple. The room itself feels much larger and nicer than shown in the photos and could fit a group of seven people with several suitcases and still have space to spare. Highly recommended host/lodging, would definitely stay again if given the opportunity!
