Taturo is a great host. His apartment is lovely and great for two. The pictures are also very true to how the apartment looks. We stayed for almost three weeks and have no complaints. Taturo waited for us at the station before we arrived to take us to his apartment which was about a five minute walk. It is close to two subway stations with lots of eateries around. There's also a 100yen store, a 7/11 where you can take out money easily, and a McDonald's if you're home sick. Plus it's about 15 minutes from Ikebukuro station which has even more to do! If I am in Japan again I would definitely come back.
