We are a couple travelling with a 1.5 yo kid and a helper.
We felt it was an excellent choice to stay here.
The house is spacious and cozy. Nice, clean, and well equipped. Host is wonderful - sent all the info before and maintains contact with us during the stay. One of the lights was down one day and we let the host know about it, and on the same day it was fixed.
The location was good - quick ride by JR to ikebukura, shinjuku and shibuya. The surrounding areas look safe. Very short distance walk from Jujo station.
Some particularly good points for baby staying in the house are - 1. The floor is wooden (instead of carpeted) so one can mop and clean the floor as frequently as you like. Having a nice clean floor is a merit for babies who crawl and play on the ground. 2. We slept on Tatami in the bedroom. No need to worry about babies falling off from bed. 3. Just about everything you need in the kitchen so you can cook something for the baby. 4. The bathroom has air condition so it’s very warm during bathing. 5. Two toilets are available that makes things more efficient - someone looking after baby in one toilet while others can use the other one.
One minor problem with babies/kids - there is a staircase so just beware toddlers or babies can fall down - for us we kept a close eye on this and we tried to close (and lock) the doors just to keep baby out of reach of the staircase. In fact for more grown up kids the open kitchen may also be a problem because they may be tall enough to reach the fire / things being cooked.
Overall we were very satisfied and we would love to come back for our next visit.
Cheers
