Guest Reviews
- Elio (8/5): Gran estancia en Ikebukuro - Localización excelente a 15 minutos a pie de la estación de Ikebukuro. Más que correcto para alojarse unos días El tamaño no era lo más cómodo. Estuvimos bien pero al tener muchas maletas se hace algo pequeño.
Si eso no te importa, un lugar ideal.
- Ryan (9/5): -
- Anurag (8/5): Good stay overall, avoid getting the room in ground floor - The host was very friendly, the place was clean and in a nice neighbourhood. Too small, hardly any space in the washroom specially the ground floor also we had a musquito problem
- Xavier (6/5): - La dueña/encargada fue sumamente amable y encantadora. Siempre estuvo muy presente, predispuesta a ayudar y atenta a que nuestra estadía en Tokio fuera lo más cómoda y agradable posible. El departamento es bastante pequeño y, en comparación con otros alojamientos en los que nos hospedamos durante nuestro viaje por Japón, la limpieza podría mejorar un poco. Notamos algo de polvo en la lámpara y detrás de la cama, y el borde del inodoro no estaba completamente limpio. Aun así, la estadía fue correcta y el lugar cumplió.
- Scott (1/5): Odeur d'humidité et présence de moisissures. - L'hôte est extrêmement sympa et réponds vite. Terrifiant. Je ne sais pas comment il y a autant d'avis positifs. C'est invraisemblable. Je vous explique.
J'arrive à l'appartement et la chambre 102 est au sous-sol. Une fenêtre est bien présente mais elle située au niveau du sol de la rue. Quand j'ai ouvert la porte, il y avait une odeur de cave et d'humidité extrême. C'est petit, il fait chaud. Il y a des traces d'humidité et de moisissures. Je suis asthmatique en plus.
Même après avoir mis la climatisation, l'odeur était toujours présente. Les draps étaient humides et mes affaires également. L'odeur commençaient à les recouvrir. Peut-être qu'il y a un problème et ce n'est pas de la faute de l'hôte ? Détrompez-vous. Elle était parfaitement au courant. Il y avait un 2 déshumidificateurs, un prise qui diffusait de bonnes odeurs et aussi, un autre objet qui diffusait des odeurs. C'est à ce moment que j'ai compris. Certains avis en parlent. Peut-être que c'est à cause de la localisation que c'est très humide ? J'ai croisé deux habitants dont une personne au troisième étage, elle m'a dit que la bâtiment était très humide. Il y avait de fortes odeurs chez elle.
Bref, j'ai demandé un remboursement et je l'ai eu, mais j'ai du prendre un autre hôtel en urgence pour 5 nuits. À la base, j'avais payé 377€. J'ai payé un APA Hotel à plus de 700€ (129 000 yens). J'ai payé un taxi aussi. J'ai explosé mon forfait téléphonique car j'ai du appeler Booking depuis le Japon. Ça m'a coûté 150 euros.
Certes, l'hôte m'a remboursé et a tenté de justifier les soucis d'humidité par le fait que ce soit l'été. Alors déjà, ce n'était pas l'été. De plus, elle était bien au courant mais alors bien au courant de ces problèmes. Je rappel : 2 déshumidificateurs / 2 sprays d'odeurs. Elle m'a remboursé directement aussi. C'est une honte.
- Tunyanun (9/5): -
- Louise (10/5): - Emplacement idéal pas loin de la gare et dans une rue au calme !
- Hanns (8/5): - die kommunikation lief schon im
vorgeld sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und reibungslos. die unterkunft erfüllt ihren zweck. das viertel ist angenehm und der tägliche spaziergang zum bahnhof ikebukuro jedes mal mit kleinen schönen entdeckungen verbunden gewesen… der combini mit sitzgelegenheit, der gutausgestattete supermarkt, der gemüsehändler. vielen dank!
- Antony (10/5): -
- Mr. Bayat (10/5): Cute apartment in a local neighborhood close to transportation - The location was very quiet and local.
The house was very functional.
It was close to public transportation. It was a bit expensive for the size.
- Zachary (10/5): - 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. 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.
- Margaux (8/5): -
- Nikola (10/5): -
- Liam (10/5): - everything ok nothing bad to say
- Danny (9/5): Top! - - 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.
- cruz Lopez (7/5): The bed was comfortable but because of the foul odor I don’t think we would stay there again. - There’s things to do near by and the host was kind, responsive and gave us clear instructions of everything. 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.
- David (10/5): - Koharu was such a great host, we had a problem finding the accommodation but we sort it out
- Giovanni (10/5): - Loopafstand van Ikebukuro station, ruime slaap/eet kamer. Badkamer wel heel compact maar goed te doen. Ingang was wat klein en smal
- Gouri (10/5): - 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.
- Chloe (10/5): Thank you!!! - The area is super cool, good for manga and anime. There is supermarket near by and combini.
- Ketty (10/5): N'hésitez plus! - 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. Nous sommes très grands et la salle de bain est étroite (mais ça ne m'étonne pas sur Tokyo)
- Mark (10/5): - Koharu has been a very helpful host, appreciate it
- Valeria (10/5): - Second time staying there, and we'll be back!
- Alice (10/5): - The building is a residential block in a quiet area and not chaotic zone.
Ikebukuro station is few minute walking from there.
Everything went smoothly as planned. nothing big to report
- Vebjørn (7/5): -
- Yen Chuan (8/5): - Owner was very helpful and responsive, providing information and recommendations when asked, facilities were decent for price paid Entrance was a bit narrow and small, and also quite a walk from nearest station
- Stefanie (8/5): Great place for one week in Tokyo! - The location was great. Very close to Ikebukuro station, a lot of convenient stores near by, coffeeshops, restaurants and many more. Me and husband totally fell in love with Ikebukuro. It's great for eating at izakayas or if you enjoy a vivid nightlife.
The bed was super comfortable and the beamer for watching movies in the evening was also very convenient.
We loved the quiet neighbourhood. There was a lot to explore and we loved taking walks later at night just to enjoy the silence after a very loud day in the center.
Especially the host Koharu-san was always so helpful and nice. It is a small apartment with everything you need but for us it was a little bit to small. Especially the bathroom. But if you don't mind this and you are searching for a very good located place with a nice atmosphere this place it just for you😀
- ShangRong (10/5): 房東真的是非常熱情又貼心的人,有好吃的有趣的資訊都會與我們分享!房間裡應有盡有,擺兩顆大行李箱也綽綽有餘,浴室雖然小小的但水很熱,非常棒!地理位置也很方便,我很喜歡這個地方🫶 -
- Rachel (9/5): Lovely apartment with a wonderful host - Loved staying here, and only wish I could have for longer!
Firstly the host is probably one of the most helpful and friendly I've ever had in my years of travelling- and I didn't even meet her! However, she was available via Whatsapp during the lead-up to, and during, my stay and was honestly so great at sending me recommendations for things in the area, and any questions around checking in. The bed was also the comfiest I've had in Tokyo so far. The area was super quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of Ikebukuro, but still not too far a walk from anything. Had everything I needed for a 3 night stay, especially how compact the apartment is! The space was fine for a solo traveller, but I think would be too small for a couple as it's very compact. The ladder up to the mezzanine was also a little bit scary to climb!
- Juan (10/5): Good days in Tokyo - It's located in a very beautiful and quiet area, with great connections to the Yamanote Line, and the bed is super comfortable too! ❤️
- Hailey (8/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): - The train station is at 13 min walking distance but there are a lot of shops and supermarkets around
- Giovanni (9/5): -
- Tayla (10/5): Felt very comfortable and home like. We loved the location. Koharu was exceptional, very friendly and helped us whenever - We loved how close and convinient it was and the hospitality of the host! She was lovely. N/A
- Samantha (10/5): - Nice size studio, has a lot of amenities, really great host also and very clean. The size of the bathroom was a bit small in the room we were in.
- Michael (10/5): Good Food in ikebukuro - Price is very convenient compared to other countries. A lot of things to do around! I really loved going to eat sushi at Tenka Zushi, Koharu recommend the best places where to eat sushi and ramen.
- Pablo (8/5): Cosy and functional apartment in Ikebukuro - Kahoru was extremely helpful and gave me loads of useful tips. The apartment was cosy and clean. It was a bit too small.
- rebecca (10/5): -
- Ingrid (8/5): - Era un estudio completo Se debía tener mucho cuidado a la hora del baño
- Alice (10/5): All I could've asked for - Convenient location, very caring and quick responses from owner Nothing!
- Nina (10/5): Our stay was super cozy and comfortable — the perfect place for two, with a great location, a fun projector, and an amaz - We had such a great stay at Koharu’s place! The apartment is super cozy and just the right size for two people — we felt really comfortable the whole time. We loved the projector, perfect for watching movies after a long day exploring Tokyo.
The neighborhood is nice and quiet, but still really convenient. Ikebukuro Station is only a short walk away, and from there it’s super easy to get to all the main areas in Tokyo. 🗼
Koharu was the best host we could’ve asked for! She was so kind and helpful, always checking in and giving us great recommendations and useful local info. It really made our trip even better.
We’d definitely stay here again next time we’re in Tokyo — highly recommend this place! 🌸❤️🫶🏼🥰
- Divya (9/5): A smooth and comfortable stay with helpful hosting, great location perks - Koharu was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Since it was our first time in Tokyo, we had several questions, and she kindly and patiently provided all the details we needed. The self check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free. Having a 7-Eleven nearby with a seating area made quick meals super convenient. The room matched the description perfectly and was comfortable throughout our stay. We truly enjoyed our time here and hope to return soon! The bathroom was quite compact, and having a shower curtain would have made it more comfortable.
- Timothée (9/5): -
- Alice (8/5): -
- Maja Anni (10/5): Reasonably priced and very well equipped flat in a good location - We spent a week in the flat and it was wonderful for our trip to Tokyo. It is perfectly equipped with everything you need to prepare simple meals or breakfast. Everything was very clean. Shampoo, even conditioner, hairdryer, rubbish bags, umbrella... we wanted for nothing. The host communicated actively and is super helpful and always responds quickly. We didn't find the flat small. However, we were able to put our backpacks on the upper floor without any problems. The projector was a great extra for watching a film after a long day. The air conditioning worked perfectly.
You walk about 10 minutes to the next MRT station but then you can get to all the sightseeing spots of Tokyo very quickly. It was good for us to escape the hustle in the evening. We are very happy to recommend it.
- Cleo (10/5): Lovely stay, would definitely come back! - I stayed at this studio in Ikebukuro and had such a great experience. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. It’s in a really convenient spot! easy to get around Tokyo from here, and there are lots of nice little places to eat and explore nearby.
Koharu, the host, was honestly amazing – so kind and helpful. She gave me loads of great local recommendations that I wouldn’t have found on my own, and was always quick to respond if I had any questions
Would definitely book again next time I’m in Tokyo! :) Nothing
- Tim (10/5): Very comfy place to stay, had all the amenities I needed. Koharu was very nice and helpful. - The location was great, living with the locals was a fun experience. It's also pretty close to the train station for added convenience. There was lots of signage inside in English which really helped as well.
- Priscila Ruth (10/5): -
- Ying (8/5): - 房主人很好,如果追求人文风情的话可以入住。
房间挺大的,除了厕所。
有全套的厨具,瓦斯,微波炉,冰箱。
还有投影仪,可惜我们行程非常赶没机会用上。 厕所实在是太小了,我的身高只有150cm,在里面都觉得拥挤不堪,用起来非常局促。
- 은수 (10/5): -
- Choutae (10/5): - Tidy and enough for a solo traveler. A little bit far from the JR line but.
- Murwoa (10/5): The host is really kind!!! I really liked the use of the projector too. - A small apartment but it gave me a reality on what it would be like living in Tokyo by myself -
- Robin (10/5): Quiet and very comfortable - Very good location! It's a short walk to the station and has convenience stores and a pharmacy nearby. It's a quiet area, which is especially relaxing after big day trips in the main shopping areas of Tokyo. It was very comfortable, with everything you need. The room was big enough for 2 large suitcases. N/A
- Steven (10/5): Local restaurants and good access - Good local restaurants and good staff. Located 12 min from Ikebukuro Station, you can take many trains to go everywhere in TOkyo.
- Kazuyuki (8/5): リラックス、自宅気分 - 民泊はいつもチェックインが不安なのですが、宿泊前から連絡をいただけるので不安は全くなかったです。
- Lucile (8/5): - This cozy little apartment was really nice for a short Tokyo trip. I was amazed by how calm it was, day or night. The host thought of everything that we might need. The mezzanine with tatami floors was also a great touch. It was overall a really nice budget friendly place to stay. The mattress was too soft for our taste, and as I understand that the really small bathroom is not changeable, ours seemed to have a fan problem, as even if left on all day the bathroom stayed wet, and it was way too noisy to leave on all night. Maybe it needs to be checked.
- Daniel (10/5): A lovely little place to stay. - Location was excellent, Koharu was very communicative and accommodating. Easy to contact and proactive. This made our stay very pleasant Bathroom is small but still very functional
- Anders Ole (10/5): -
- Sarah (10/5): - I appreciated the tips about Tokyo, we found a very good restuarant for sushi at the price of supermarket in our country. The rooms are ok! But the help during and before the trip has been extremely useful. So it is a good place for who wants to get in touch with locals.
- Nicolas (10/5): - The room was amazing and the manager was so nice!
- Aldo Santullo (10/5): Una casetta tranquilla molto vicina al centro di Tokyo - Grazioso appartamento situato vicino alla stazione di Ikebukuro (circa 10 minuti a piedi) dalla quale si può raggiungere facilmente qualsiasi destinazione a Tokyo. Forse un pò piccolo per gli standard italiani ma assolutamente in linea con quelli giapponesi.
Basta semplicemente abituarsi! Noi abbiamo usato il "soppalco" situato sopra il letto per sistemare le valigie e lasciare più spazio nella stanza.
- TENG-YI (10/5): -
- Philippa (10/5): It was nice to stay in a residential area to see what’s it’s like in regular Japanese areas (not super touristy ones), t - The projector in the bed. The room was a fine size. The bed was very comfy. The host, Koharu, is so sweet & lovely and great to be in contact with. I think the mezzanine should be used for the bedroom so the downstairs could be more spacious, a folding bed could be put downstairs for extra guests and the ladder/steps could go on the other side of the room and be more upright,
- Fatima (8/5): Satisfactoria :) - La localización y el entorno eran muy buenos. El baño muy pequeño y al bañarnos mojábamos el baño y no teníamos con que poder secarlo.
- Bruno (4/5): Nette Vermieterin, aber sehr beengte Unterkunft mit Schimmelproblem. - Der Kontakt mit Koharu war ausgesprochen nett. Sie ist eine sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin und hatte auch vollstes Verständnis für unser Unbehagen mit der Wohnung. Auch die Nachbarschaft in einer ruhigeren Ecke Ikebukuros ist angenehm und gut gelegen. Das Zimmer roch leider sehr stark nach Feuchtigkeit und Schimmel, obwohl Küchen- und Badlüfter bereits liefen, als wir in das Apartment kamen. Der Geruch hat sich trotz intensiven Lüftens nicht verbessert und ist an Koffern und Kleidung hängen geblieben und hat uns bis nach Deutschland begleitet. Aus diesem sind wir sogar vorzeitig in ein Hotel umgezogen. Das Apartment (mit dem Tatami-Boden) ist wirklich winzig und man würde sich das Bett oben auf der Tatami-Ebene wünschen, um das Zimmer überhaupt benutzen zu können. Es gibt keine Möglichkeit sein Gepäck unterzubringen. Um auf den Tatami-Boden hochzugelangen muss man eine sehr steile und wackelige Leiter benutzen, sodass man das Gepäck nicht hochgehievt bekommt. Das Bad war besonders eng, alt und unansehnlich und der Duschvorhang hat sichtlich geschimmelt. Solang das Schimmelproblem nicht behoben ist, können wir einen Aufenthalt in dieser Wohneinheit nicht empfehlen.
- Monica (8/5): - La gentilezza del proprietario.
La camera e' confortevole
Rapporto qualità prezzo La distanza dalla metropolitana (più di un quarto d'ora a piedi) anche se la zona è molto tranquilla con supermercati e qualche ristorante.
- Kiana (10/5): Felt welcomed and comfortable in our space. It was a very peaceful neighborhood with nearby convenience stores, laundry - I like the peaceful community and staying at this apartment allowed us to feel like locals and be away from the city when we wanted to. We had a lot of helpful signage inside and outside of the property so we always knew how to navigate. I don’t have any complaints about the property.
- Gonçalo (10/5): Very good!! - The owner was super friendly and helped us with everything. The room was clean and comfortable. The apartment was close to ikebukuro station and the neighbourhood was calm and quiet. Everything was good
- Khoraizat (10/5): -
- Azman (10/5): I had a wonderful and comfortable stay, which made my Japan trip very pleasant and fun! - It was clean and complete with everything I needed, with an extra Projector with streaming service to provide me cool entertainment experience! I liked everything about the property! There were no issues or discomfort at all!
- Yu Yun (7/5): 適合獨旅或行李少,想體驗日式公寓的旅客 - 設備齊全和乾淨、老闆人非常好,對於我們的問題迅速回覆,給人很熱情的感覺。
住宿位於住宅區,附近有洗衣店和便利商店,走路時間都在五分鐘內,晚上很安靜。
距離池袋站西口要走路快二十分鐘,但是可以改搭乘池02公車在中丸町下車,這樣到住宿就只需要走五分鐘。
閣樓榻榻米空間很舒服,不會有壓迫感。 房間在有日光時看起來很不錯,但我們抵達的時間是下雨的晚上,扛著行李箱爬上狹窄又濕滑的樓梯後,開門時整個被空間狹小程度嚇到,床舖和簡易廚房流理台中間只有一條小小的走道,還幾乎被桌椅佔據。
我和旅伴都各有一個大行李箱和登機箱,只能輪流整理行李,行李箱攤開之後基本上沒有行走空間了。
衛浴雖然乾淨但燈光昏暗,風格有點老舊。空間非常狹窄,洗澡換衣服不太方便,浴簾是固定式,下擺容易接觸水的地方有黴點。馬桶沖水時聲音很大聲且不是免治馬桶。抽風機運轉聲音很大,基本上睡覺時間都要關上,造成浴室只能一直處在潮濕的狀態。
老實說如果在閣樓直接放一個日式床舖,桌椅和行李箱都可以擺在下面的話,感覺動線會更順暢,住起來也更舒服。
- J0AM (6/5): - The apartment is very small, but I guess that is typical for how many Japanese live – much smaller than most foreigners might expect. The mattress was too soft for my taste, but otherwise everything was fine. The host was extremely pleasant and helpful with any question I had, which was fantastic.
- Tim (10/5): -
- Igor (10/5): -
- SOLEDAD (9/5): Muy buen lugar para quedarse en Tokyo. - El alojamiento es una muy buena opción, por su relación calidad-precio en Tokyo y su ubicación. Pero lo mejor es la atención de la anfitriona Koharu. Siempre estuvo atenta a nuestras necesidades, antes, durante y después de la estadía. Eso hizo que pudiéramos disfrutar mejor el apartamento y su entorno. Está ubicado a unos 15 minutos caminando de la estación de Ikebukuro, desde la cual te conectas fácilmente a cualquier sitio en Tokyo. Ese recorrido diario nos permitió conocer cada día algo nuevo del barrio, que tiene muchos restaurantes y es un buen lugar para caminar. La cama era muy cómoda y el apartamento es súper silencioso lo que nos permitió descansar muy bien después de largos días de caminatas. En una estadía larga como la nuestra nos hubiera gustado tener un poco más de espacio para colocar nuestra ropa y efectos personales. Así como espacio para poner a secar las toallas después de su uso diario.
- Dmitry (8/5): Первое знакомство с Токио - Всё хорошо.
- steven (10/5): - Nice little apartment in the heart of Tokyo.Within reach of all sightseeing if you use the amazing train system.Plenty of eating and drinking locations easily accessible Not too much to complain about for my first visit to Tokyo.

- Eric (9/5): -
- Luisa (10/5): - Absolutely amazing host. She was super friendly and helpfull. We haven't met in person, but we were communicating on whatsapp, she was replying immediatelly. Amazing for our first stay in Japan after a long flight, to have a comfortable first long sleep. She gave us also great recommendation around..we tried ramen place near Ikebukura station, amazing food and they play jazz!!!
The room is quite small for European standards, especially the bathroom. But absolutely okay for two people. The bed was big, super comfy, sheets super soft. Overall the room was super tidy. The kitchen was fully equiped, you could have potentially cook there, have a tea, small fridge. Nice air conditioning, not even that loud.
The location was nice, very quiet, lots of small shops around (some of them 24/7). You feel safe (basically everywhere in Tokyo, but here was super nice). See below. Only one small thing concerning the location. The neighborough is very nice, safe, clean...but thh underground station is quite far away, around 15 min walking.
- Paul Jonas (8/5): Die Gastgeberin ist 10/10 - Es ist nicht luxuriös aber wer nicht viel Geld für eine Unterkunft über hat wird es nicht bereuen. Die Gastgeberin ist super freundlich und hilft gerne bei allen möglichen Anliegen. Die Gegend um die Unterkunft fühlt sich sehr authentisch an und ist nachts sehr ruhig. Das Bad ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und sehr eng.
- Andreadj63 (9/5): Appartamento grazioso! - La proprietaria è gentilissima e disponibile per qualsiasi aiuto. Un pochino distante dalla stazione metro ma in una zona tranquillissima
- Mei-Jiang (3/5): - 住宿在一樓 但很像是地下室的感覺 潮濕霉味 浴室很小 有簡易廚房 但通道很小 管理人人好可以即時回應問題 希望預訂時可以說明樓層
- Ben (10/5): - great location & very helpful host. close to ikebukuro station which made travelling easy!
- Michelle (10/5): Toller Aufenthalt :) - Schöne Unterkunft, sauber und gut gelegen mit tollem Beamer. Die Inhaberin ist immer erreichbar, sehr nett, hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Gute Lage. Sehr kleines Bad aber nicht schlimm gieng irgendwie klar.
- MISAKI (8/5): -
- Daniela (4/5): -
- Dora Adrienn (10/5): -
- Janina (9/5): - Sehr bequeme und süße Unterkunft. Es gibt einen Projector um Filme/Videos zu gucken. Kohaku ist eine super nette, zuvorkommende Gastgeberin, die wirklich viele und tolle Tipps gegeben hat! Etwas klein, aber der Platz ist gut genutzt und ist ausreichend :)
- Wang (7/5): -
- SONG EN (10/5): The room had everything we needed, was spotlessly clean, and the host was incredibly warm 。 - Thank you for providing such an excellent place to stay.
Your attention to detail was evident in so many thoughtful touches throughout our visit. The warm hospitality and the great convenience of the location made our trip smooth, comfortable, and truly memorable.
- Jana (10/5): Very cute apartment and lots of great recommendations from the host! :) - It's a very cute apartment in a convenient location, and the communication with the host Koharu was amazing, she was so sweet and helpful the entire time, I did not expect that at all, it was such a nice surprise! <33 Can't think of anything in particular :)
- Nicole (9/5): Superb -
- Ömer (10/5): Exceptional - Place is really clean and place owner Koharu-san really tries to help with everything. She sent me a video to help me find the apartment from the station and she recommended really good restaurants in the area! Everything is really nice but as I am a really big guy I had trouble fitting in the shower however it was still doable
- Beku (7/5): Overall, it was a nice stay including everything we need even it’s a small place. - Kaku is in good location which is in Ikebukuro. However, it was just a little bit far from the station. It would be nice if they have a more modern toilet.
- Maya (4/5): Disappointing - good budget option. very small and the loft area was completely un-usable due to the heat. No amenities given like toothbrush or hairbrush etc. Location was a 17 min walk to the metro, in the heat it was not the most pleasant. No shops or restaurants close to the apartment. Beds and pillows not very comfortable. No Toto toilet.
- Nenad (10/5): Exceptional - Our host Koharu was super friendly giving us all the instructions how to reach location and tailored recommendations for our stay in Tokyo. I left my headphones behind but Koharu made sure I got them back.
The property itself is in a lovely, quiet part of Ikebukuro, and you can really feel how it is to live like a local here, as opposed when staying at Hotel. Ikebukuro train station is about 15 minutest walk away but these walks were never boring, as you are passing through picturesque Japanese streets.
Our room was small but charming and got everything we needed for our 1 week stay.
Thanks again Koharu for being our host!
- Donna (10/5): Lovely experience and the host is so interactive and kind! Would definitely recommend this property to anyone!! - The attention to detail and comfortable bed! Only thing I missed was a bidet but that’s a small detail ;)
