Had a great stay with a Akira my first time in Tokyo. The location of Akira's place is very close to a subway station (~7 mins) from which you will have easy access to other major stations like Ikebukuro (only two stops away). The area is also surrounded with many great options for food with restaurants, convenience and grocery stores all within walking distance.
Both the home and surrounding neighbourhood are perfect if calm and quiet is your thing. Akira and his team actively kept things very tidy and while I was there all of the other guests respected the environment accordingly.
Akira is very courteous in general and quick to respond to any inquiry but I really appreciated him going the extra mile to help me out when I needed it. Would definitely recommend and plan on staying here again my next time in Tokyo.
