A great find for a great price. Getting into the city was about a 30-minute train ride and a 10-minute walk to that train station. It is so nice to avoid taking buses, and just 1 train to Ikebukuro, and then you can transfer to the JR Yamanote line that will take you to all the main areas. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The place was easy to find! No elevator, so only bring what you can carry upstairs! I would definitely stay again for the location and convenience!
