Excellent place, a bit far.
Two week stay.
The place is super cozy and clean, and it is very close to the Seibu line, however, if you’re planning to stay out late and / or party, you should find something that is walking distance. If you’re looking for a quiet place as a home base for day-trips, this place can’t be beat in terms of value.
About 45min by metro to get to most places (Ikebukuro is 20m) - there are local grocery stores and coffee/bars/restaurants nearby but the action is in other cities. If you plan to stay out passed 11:30PM, you either need to wait until the first train (5AM) or go home early.
