The place is a 3min walk from the Narimasu station and a 10min train ride to Ikebukuro. The flat is in a very quiet neighbourhood, which is perfect and there's plenty stores and konbinis if you need anything just around the corner. The best of it all is Kaori and her kindness. She went out of her way to help us out and the entire stay felt like we were at home. Her breakfasts are delicious and if you are lucky enough, you get to see her café/gallery hosting exhibitions. She invited us for the last day's party with all the young artists, it was awesome. She made sure we were comfortable. We will come back, for sure :)
