Ken's place is tucked away in a residential area about 10 mins from Ikebukuro Station which made it very accessible. Around the station, on the way to the apartment are plenty of eateries and convenience stores.
The house is 2 storeys with generous amount of space. The huge tatami room on the 1st floor and 3 bedrooms on 2nd floor was more than enough to accommodate our group of 9. Once again, the 2 toilets and 1 bathroom saved the day for our group.
Ken was a wonderful host and very responsive to our questions. On the 2nd day we were there, he arranged for 2 new heaters/airconditioners to be put in the dining area and 1st floor tatami room when he heard that the old one was not working well. It certainly help warmed us up.
We enjoyed our stay at Ken's and will certainly recommend it to any family or groups looking for spacious accommodation near to amenities!
