Conveniently located. 5 mins from terminal bus to Disneyland, Limousine Bus to Airport, and Ikebukuro Station. Located more in residential area, needs some 15 mins walk to the heart of Ikebukuro's commercial area. But what surprised us is the quality of the house. The house is nicely designed, the workmanship is of very fine quality, full with all the modern equipments. Like, It has floor heater, sunroof that you can open and close, bathroom heater to dry your clothes, aircon that has sensor to detect human's body temp and adjust accordingly. It is just too nice and too over-spec to be a rental house. I got the impression that the hosts firstly built the house for them to live in by themselves, but along the way changed their mind and made it rental. But for the host, well, the host just never answers the phone. On the check in day, we had some problem, we called the phone number listed in Airbnb repeatedly, but nobody answered. So we messaged instead, but the reply came much later when the problem was solved. Also On the next day, I was to take a bath but the temp was too hot, and I couldn't adjust the temp on the panel, and some orher questions around the house,
so I called, but again nobody answered. I know Airbnb is not hotel, it has no concierge, but I just think it would be very helpful if the host make themselves available for a phone call, at least on the check in day. If the host is not available, just appoint someone who is. The host does always reply the message, but on the time convenient for them, sometimes half an hour, sometimes half a day, or one day later. Usually the reply came when the problem was kind of solved (and our mood is already spoilt.) Hence, based on our experience, for the house, hands down, 5 stars diamond, we are pleasantly surprised with the quality of the house, and all the amenities. But For the host itself, well, the host is okay enough but they are just never there when most needed.
