Authentic experience in a quiet residential area outside central Tokyo. Please note apartment is not located in heart of Ikebukuro but Kita-Ikebukuro; a ~5min walk to the closest train station, with ~30-40min ride to most major places and ~60min to Disneyland. Excellent restaurants in surrounding areas, otherwise limited bar/restaurant options in walking distance. Couple of 24x7 convenience stores close by though. The apartment itself is on the 3rd floor with no elevator. Space is very small and would be ideal for 2 people. We were a party of 4 and could only fit one suitcase open on the floor. There was no living room with sofa or dining table as advertised. Beds were very comfortable and Wi-Fi was fast. Finally host was friendly and really quick to reply to any questions. Thanks again
