The location was excellent, extremely convenient shopping location for Ikebukuro for casual travelers and people familiar with Japan. Walking to the Ikebukuro station every morning was extremely easy and made visiting the rest of Tokyo daily great! Laundry was a bit inconvenient but as we stayed longer than an average trip, it was manageable. We also found a laundry place that was in the process of being constructed extremely close by, so it may be finished by the time this review goes up.
