Coco is very helpful and responsive. He is flexible with the timings of checking in or out if the apartment is available.
Coincidentally bump into him when checking out. Nice and pleasant host.
The apartment is as per picture. Perfect for a couple.
Distance from Ikebukuro station to apartment is slightly more than 7 mins. When you actually walk with a luggage bag, it's more like a 10-15mins walk. It's a nice walk though as there are a lot of restaurants and shops to see on the way to the apartment.
The apartment is in a quieter area than the hustle and bustle around Ikebukuro station. Nice to rest after a whole day out.
For Muslims, there is a kebab shop near Ikebukuro station and Kaenzan Lanzhou Lamian is around 20mins walk from the apartment. It is on the west side of Ikebukuro station.
Overall, it's a pleasant stay.
