Our host Yuko has been really helpful answering our questions beyond her scope of responsibility and helped us to receive tickets we booked online and delivered to the hosted place. She has also been very responsive replying our enquiries when we need help with the house WiFi and power trip issues thru whatsapp.

The listing description is accurate but can be clearer, especially 1 bathroom which got us worried:

1. There is a toilet and bath on the ground level separated. There is another toilet on the second level and both levels have washing basin separated as well. This is important as it mean that if there is a big group staying here, there are still 2 toilets available even when one is bathing. This is a plus points that should be made clearer. :)

2. There is no "dryer" as in washing machine. But there is a dehumidifier room at second level to help with drying the washed clothes. But this takes at least 24 hours to dry (you need to empty the collected water tank daily), unless the 1-2 hours dryers the westerners are familiar with.

The neighbourhood is very quiet and safe. It is very conveniently located between two JR train stations within a short walking distance. Within 10 min walk around Mejiro station, you can access to many shops, including a supermarket and a 24 hours convenient store. On the opposite side within 15 min walk, you can access to a shopping hub around Ikebukuro station where you can find anything you ever needed, including some famous resturants!

Overall, it's quiet a cosy place located in a convenient location. Facilities are very basic but all the essential are provided. At this cost, it's value for money.
