Taturo is a great friendly host. He has replied all my messages in a matter of hours. The place is tiny but comfortable, also very quiet.
He came to pick us up at the train station then walked us to the apartment. The apartment is 10 minutes walk from the station. The station is Nakamubarashi which is 5 stops away from Ikebukuro..not very central but it's ok if well connected. From the station to the apartment it's a nice walk, neighborhood is very quiet & safe.
When we got to the room, he explained all we needed to know about the room to us..how to use A/C, the cook etc.
This place is recommended.
Thank you Taturo! It was a pleasure to meet you! :)
