The home stay is about 15 min walking distance from Nishi-Sugamo train station and we take about 30min to get the house as our flight reach late and quite hard to get the location at night. I believe it will be more easier to find the house with the location map in the morning. overall the location is quite convenience to travel around city like Ikebukuro, Ueno, Shinjuku, Shibuya..etc. the room is very clean and it is at the second floor, so if you have big baggage try make it lighter, easier for you to carry up ^^. Although we only able to meet host on our last day but she is very friendly and even help us call our next stay for some verification.
