The apartment was as in the photos but smaller than we expected. We were a family of 4 with 2 teenagers and it was just enough but more people would have been too tight. Very clean, easy self checkin, it is about 10-15mins walk from Ikebukuro station and the photo directions Ting sent us was very clear. Some narrow stairs to get to the apartment on 3rd floor, could be an issue if you have big luggage. Lots of restaurants close to the station, very central station to go everywhere without having to change lines. In all, a good stay in quiet residential area close to station.
