Pros:
host is very responsive and polite.
house is huge seeing as it's in Tokyo and brightly lit during the daytime.
house is nearby Ikebukuro station (exit C6), about 8 mins walking distance.
many convenience stores nearby house that are open even late into the night.
clean bedroom sheets.
heater works well.
Cons:
kitchen has a foul odour when the kitchen and bedroom doors are closed up even after cleaning.
not recommended to use kitchen amenities, not sanitary looking/smelling.
bathroom has stains on floor, grime on the shampoo/soap/conditioner bottles.
bathroom sink got mold.
bathroom sink counters not clean, got dust and stains.
found dead spider in bedroom during our third night's stay.
not enough toilet paper.
tv shelf dusty.
carpet supposedly white according to pictures but have turned grey with dirt.
if you're looking for an old-style Japanese house this would be a great and authentic experience.
