This is a great place for a single traveler or a young couple with not much luggage. Families with kids may need a bigger place than this one. The apartment is right next to train tracks and you can hear the trains passing by every few minutes. It is not too noisy but it is noticeable. The location is close to Ikebukuro Station with lots of shops and restaurants and it’s easy to jump on a train to go to other parts of Tokyo. There’s a 24-hr convenience store (711) nearby that has all the essentials a traveler could possibly need. The host is very responsive and helpful!
