Great location on the western side of Ikebukuro; convenience stores, grocery stores, restaurants, and even a Don Quijote discount store all within a few blocks. Fabulous public transit access to the rest of Tokyo, too. Wifi was fast and we really appreciated having the elevator to get to our floor. Check-in instructions sent ahead of time were full of pictures and very clear. Everything was as advertised, which means if you really are planning to stay as 5 or 6 people, factor in that there is only one shower room and one toilet room for the whole apartment. We didn't have any need to contact the hosts during our stay, but they were very responsive before and after.
