We stayed at Sato's place for over a week. It provided everything we needed. It is very centrally located in Ikebukuro and we were able to access all the things we needed within a very short walk.

The apartment building is on a relatively quiet street, given its location in Ikebukuro. there are convenience stores within a block. The separate room allowed for my wife and I to get a little privacy away from the kids. This was a much more affordable way to spend time in the area as a family. The apartment is small (by western standards) however in the end that didn't matter. We were only spending time sleeping there and eating breakfast.

Sato was also able to arrange a slightly later check out for us on short notice which we really appreciated.

The apartment did everything we needed and we would go back again to stay there.

Thank you Sato!
