Upon arrival, the accommodation was visibly and obviously not cleaned. There was bags of trash, the beds were not made, and counters were not cleaned. I told the host, who was quick to respond that there was an issue with the house keeper. It took about 3 hours for the housekeeper to show up and clean the room.
Otherwise, it was a pleasant and affordable stay. I stayed for almost two weeks and I got a sense of the local life. The location is right next to Shimo-Itabashi station just one stop away from Ikebukuro. Once you book and verify your passport the host sends you detailed instructions from both Haneda and Narita airport.
