The hosts are lovely people who were very helpful and accommodating to our needs. Communication was good despite the language barrier. The apartment is very clean and has most things needed for a comfortable stay. We couldn’t get the TV to work and it is a good 20 minute walk to Ikebukuro train station but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Shops are close by which is good and plenty of vending machines located in the street. We would definately recommend this apartment.
