Ikuko & Nori's place is located in a very convenient location for my friend and I during our stay, with no more than 15-25 minutes travel to all of our desired destinations. It is easy to locate from Nakano Station, with numerous restaurants/eateries and shopping areas nearby (I especially enjoyed shopping in Nakano Broadway). Our room was more than spacious enough for the two of us to stay, and I would consider it very comfortable for a solo traveler. Apart from the room itself, Nori-san was a gracious host who responded quickly to our inquiries and was quick to offer assistance and advice. Overall, I would strongly consider staying here again on my next visit to Japan.
