Stayed during winter (late december), 3 ppl
Pros: Residential area, quiet. Had usual amenities & washing machine (detergent not provided). 1st level.
Cons:
NOT a 7min walk from Ikebukuro station, was ~11min. Quite deep in residential area. There's a nearby love hotel/red light district, but it still felt fairly safe.
Place felt smaller than in pictures.
Cramped for 3 ppl, would be better for 2. Only had ~4 hangers.
The kitchen & bathroom were quite cold, heating doesn't reach there from the bedroom. Had to move the portable heater from the bedroom & place it at the kitchen, but it was still a bit cold.
The bathroom's small, it's hard to change inside. The shower curtain's mouldy. It's hard to keep the toilet cover up as the flush got in the way. The ventilation turns on with the lights, so it's cold when you step out of the bath. The heater of the shower water is inconsistent.
The stairs to the loft was shaky & the area was a bit dusty.
OK for hotter seasons & less ppl
