Phenomenal value for money. I stayed for 31 days and the cost was equivalent to a month's rent in my home country. Room is small, but has private toilet and shower, and proximity to Ikebukuro and Otsuka is great.

Needs a bit more storage space.

I had a great experience! For solo travelers, I highly recommend this place. It was my first time in Tokyo, Japan, and I haven't regretted it one bit. The host is very nice, pleasant, and helpful. A big bonus is that if you can speak Japanese, it’s a plus; if not, Google Translate can help. Smoking is not allowed. I spent the first two weeks alone, and in my third week, my girlfriend joined me. It felt a bit crowded with two people, but it was totally manageable if you don’t mind it. The location is about 10-15 minutes away from Ikebukuro station, which connects to all major spots in the city. It takes 20-30 minutes to get to Shinjuku and Shibuya. The last train to Ikebukuro departs at 00:30, which is great for those who like to stay out late. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. There's a vending machine located right in front of the apartment. Nearby, you'll find a coin laundry and restaurants, and a large shopping center, Sunshine City, is just 15 minutes away. All in all, it's a very good location, and Ikebukuro has a lot to offer.

The walls are a bit thin; you can hear people outside if they are loud, and they can hear you. Usually, there aren't many people around, but sometimes it is a nuisance.

I stayed for 10 days and it was very comfortable. The room was clean, my bed was soft, and the location was close to the station and everything else; just what I needed for my time in Ikebukuro. There's a 7-Eleven and grocery store right around the corner as well, which was convenient. Overall, my stay here has been great and I'm definitely coming back if given the chance!

The staff was incredibly nice and it was very comfortable to stay here, it felt like a home. It was very easy to check in and check out, without having to wait. I also booked the room last minute and it was a really good price.

The only thing is that the toilet is outside the room so in the room there is a shower, sink and bed but no toilet. Regardless of this, the toilet is right outside the bedroom so it's ok.

One of the best bed I've ever slept in, very comfy. The location is good, 15 min walk from the shopping center and train station Toilet is shared but you get your own shower, very convenient.

The room is a little bit cramped. I had one luggage and had to put some stuff on the bed. The wall is a bit thin so I could hear the other room if they are talking loudly. Waited a little bit for the hot shower water to come.

Aircon, cozy room with balcony. Friendly staff. Near groceries and restaurants. 10- 15 min walk to train ikebukuro train station.

Toilet outside of room. Stairs to 3rd floor hope the have a lift for the luggages. And no changing of bed sheets and towels for the 7 days stay.

Near with train station Lots of convinience store around 7 min walk to nearest shopping mall Lots of delicious Japanese Food with fairly cheap price

Pretty hard to find in google map

we were a bit late, good thing the staff was kind and considerate...we love the tatami that give the japanese vibes of the room, it was clean... the room smells clean too, able to sleep well that night...

Easily accessible, nice toilet and close to train station and local shops.

Stairs but then again we had a small balcony

The location is good, right outside the busy part of ikebukuro. The shower and toilet both were in the room but separated. Plenty of power outlets. Lots of convenient stores close by. The owner was understanding and would work with you, real nice guy. The shared kitchen worked out fine no one bothered your things.

I couldn't tell which room I was getting from the app, or at least what the whole layout looked like. Not allowed to have guests over or it will be extra charge, but was able to work something out with the owner. I stayed for a while but I think it may have cost extra for replacement blankets and pillows. The owner speaks a little English so be patient with him. There are a lot of rules guests should be aware of so they do not ruin things for their stay or others staying there.
