The apartment is only a 8-10 minute walk from the closest station which is a 1 minute stop away from Ikebukuro Station. The apartment is very clean and I love how there are a lot of cleaning equipment/utensils available when I need to clean up any mess. The thing I didn't like about the apartment was that the electricity falls easily if you use the hair dryer, water boiler or vacuum while the air conditioner is on. So a note for future travellers, its best to turn off the air conditioner before using any electrical equipment. Chinatsu responds very quickly and is a really friendly and lovely host. Overall, the apartment is really nice and a great location if you want to be near Ikebukuro.
