I stayed here with my partner and son (19 month old). The location is amazing, even if not choosing to stay here a day trip out is worth it. Staying here was so convient, just outside are op shops, cafes and restaurants not far at all from the station with easy streets to push a pram and luggage down. The house itself was great having the 2 seperate rooms which can be rare in Japan, we were able to close off the loungeroom with cot when our son slept and have dinner in the main area. The only downside to this place for us especially with a young toddler is there was so much stuff, from extra tables, vaccum cleaner, unused powerboards, mirrors all in reach of our toddler. More minimization could make this place feel more modern and spacious. If staying in Shimokitazawa, we would absolutely stay here again.
