Ikebukuro House

Overall, the accommodation met our expectations, especially considering its relative affordability compared to other shared-bathroom rooms in Tokyo. Its location in a residential neighborhood was within a 15-20 minute walk from Ikebukuro JR Station. ,Reaching major tourist attractions took between 30-60 minutes. The kitchen and washing machine were convenient, and the separation of the toilet and shower facilitated usage. The place was clean, even though the wallpaper showed some wear.

It was difficult to understand the house's layout based on the pictures. It's quite small with two floors. The first floor has an entrance hall with a sink, a toilet door, stairs, and another door leading to the first room. This room integrates the kitchen and has another door leading to a small room with the washing machine and shower. This layout presented an inconvenience, as accessing the shower and kitchen required passing through one of the bedrooms, compromising privacy. The second floor consisted of two small rooms, one with a coffee table and couch, and the other with a closet. Space was limited, including small beds with overly soft mattresses. Sharing one bathroom among 6 people could also be challenging. In conclusion, the suitability of this accommodation depends on your priorities. If budget is your main concern and you're comfortable with smaller, less private spaces, it's a good option. However, if you have more financial flexibility or prefer larger, more private accommodations, you might consider exploring other options.

Barrio y limpieza. Dueño muy amable

Distribución general de la casa, ubicación, muy lejos de estación metro. Imposible subir maletas al segundo piso, ducha nos costó encontrarla, camas todas bajas lo que resulta un gran problema para personas mayores y con dificultades en las piernas como yo.
