We are a family of 4 and stayed 16 days in this apartment, which was conveniently located near the train and metro stations, plus a 24-hour grocery store, two convenience stores and many places to eat nearby. The apartment was a 5 min walk to Shiinamachi station (Seibu Train) or 7 min walk to Kanamecho station (Tokyo Metro), both stations only one station away from the major Ikebukuro station. The apartment was clean and had everything needed, including a washing machine, which we used daily. Houses in Japan don't have driers, but that was OK, because the 3rd floor location made it very private and lots of sun to dry our clothes. There were 2 beds in the bedroom and one sofa bed in the kitchen/living room, which can be inconvenient if wake times are different. The kitchen had the essentials, and it would have been ideal if it had a toaster or oven toaster. It had a kitchen knife, but it would have been better also with dinner knifes. Both minor inconveinences. Overall excellent place.
