In this review I thought I'd mention a few things that the other reviewers have not mentioned, just to give you a better idea of what it's like to stay here.

Taturo is a very nice and honest host who is very straightforward, punctual, and by-the-book. For these reasons, be sure to always be punctual and let him know the details of your stay as soon as you can, including times of arrival and departure, etc., so that he can make arrangements to meet you and tell you about the apartment.

Also know that if you are planning to rent one of his portable mini wi-fi units, then you'll need to pay a deposit of about $200 in advance (to cover its cost in the event of loss or damage), but that you'll get the full deposit back upon return of the unit. Also be prepared to sign a contract outlining the terms of rental. For me this was not a major issue, and I fully understand the reason why he does this, but it does take away from the money you have available to spend during your stay in Tokyo.

A couple of other random things to keep in mind, especially if you're new to Japan. First, the bathroom/shower unit is literally a single combined unit, so when using the shower the entire unit will get wet, so you'll need to remember to remove the toilet paper before taking a shower (or just never leave the toilet paper in the bathroom in the first place to avoid forgetting about it). Second, there is no separate sink and mirror apart from the main kitchen sink (which has no mirror) and the mirror in the shower/toilet unit (which has no sink), so washing up can be a bit awkward if you're not used to such an arrangement.

The listing was very accurate, the room is super clean (exactly as in the photos!), and Taturo was kind to provide a folder of very useful information (maps, train info, brochures, etc.) to refer to during my stay. He will even provide you with some great PDFs that he made to assist in finding the apartment when you first arrive.

The neighborhood is very nice and quiet, and with more time I would have liked to explore it more. Keep in mind that it takes a good 20 minutes or so (4 minutes to station + 15 minutes by train) to get to Ikebukuro station, and then from there you'll need to transfer to whatever line you need to get to any other place in Tokyo. Of course Ikebukuro itself is a great place to explore.

Thanks again to Taturo for a great airbnb experience!
