Pros:

The room was very nice and the check-in and checkout process was super easy. The host is very active to ensure you have a pleasant stay. She even sent us a local event that was happening while we were staying in the room.

Cons:

The location can be a bit far especially if you have a long day of walking. It's about a 15-20 minute walk from Ikebukuro station so be mindful of that when planning out your days.

Top!
Pros:

- Fijne ligging in een rustige buurt op loopafstand van station Ikebukuro
- Host Koharu was ontzettend behulpzaam gedurende ons gehele verblijf! Ook al hebben we haar nooit ontmoet, haar enthousiasme in het online contact was heel fijn en een leuke bijkomstigheid. Alleen al daarom raad ik een verblijf hier aan. En de omgeving rondom station Ikebukuro is ook erg leuk en levendig.

The bed was comfortable but because of the foul odor I don’t think we would stay there again.
Pros:

There’s things to do near by and the host was kind, responsive and gave us clear instructions of everything.

Cons:

There was a foul odor throughout our stay of mold. We think it might have been coming from the drain but it was really bad we had to open the windows and there was signs of mold in the shower.

Pros:

Loopafstand van Ikebukuro station, ruime slaap/eet kamer. Badkamer wel heel compact maar goed te doen. Ingang was wat klein en smal

Pros:

I booked the Kaku studio last minute after I missed a train. Koharu, the host, was very kind and understanding and I had a great time. The neighbourhood is very calm but a short walk away from a lot of great stores, gardens and restaurants, whatever you are in the mood for! Ikebukuro is a hidden gem and way less busy compared to the usual spots you think of going to while in Japan. But this ended up being my favourite Neighborhood.

N'hésitez plus!
Pros:

Emplacement idéal, à 12 min à pied de la gare d'ikebukuro (qui permet de relier Shinjuku très rapidement).
Il y a à proximité de nombreux convenient store dont un qui nous a permis d'envoyer nos bagages vers un autre hôtel pour la suite de notre voyage via le service Yamato.
La propriétaire a vite pris contact avec moi pour me fournir une carte de recommandations sur Tokyo. Elle m'a indiqué ce que l'on pouvait faire en fonction de nos goûts. Elle m'a également envoyé toutes les informations nécessaires juste avant notre arrivée dans l'appartement et pris des nouvelles une fois installés.
Tout le nécessaire d'hygiène était présent, nous n'avons manqué de rien.

Cons:

Nous sommes très grands et la salle de bain est étroite (mais ça ne m'étonne pas sur Tokyo)
