Comfortable and easy
Pros: It was very comfortable, the bed was so cosy and the heater kept you very warm in the cold weather.
Cons: It was about a 13 minute walk from the nearest train station, I wish it were a bit closer but still close enough to everything essential.

20+ day stay
Pros: Clean room with enough space for 1 or 2 people. Landlord provided extra towels and deodorizer free of charge due to room smelling like cigarettes. Size was good for max 2 people and location was good. Easy access to Kanamecho and Shiinamachi Station and not too long a walk to Ikebukuro station. Once you get used to the area, there are supermarkets and convenience stores in very close proximity. There is also a laundromat very nearby. The quiet neighbourhood felt like living in Japan.
Cons: Room smelt like cigarettes when we arrived. Had to air it out a few days to get rid of the smell. Pillows were way too high and not comfortable to sleep on, it felt like sleeping on an angle...

Loved staying here and would definitely stay again.
Pros: Property was very clean and has everything you need. It was easy to find and owner was very helpful in that regard. Ample room for one or two people. 7/11 1 minute away from the apartment.
Cons: Location maybe a bit far from central areas of Tokyo but obviously booking at Ikebukuro, I already knew that. Having said so, 2 very well connected subway stations are 9 and 18 minutes walk away so not that bad.

Comfortable, quiet residential area
Pros: Overall very comfortable. The host was incredibly kind and allowed me to deliver our luggage which he picked up himself and personally delivered, even though this is more of a rental apartment not a hotel with front desk services. We liked that it is in a quiet residential area and there are cheap supermarkets nearby. We also enjoyed using the kitchen and washing machine.
Cons: No dealbreakers but there were a few very small things that I thought could make the apartment more comfortable: kitchen could have some more supplies like a colander, frying pan, and kitchen area would be nice to have more outlets (we had to switch from plugging the microwave and water kettle because there weren’t enough outlets). The only garbage is in the kitchen and it would be nice to have a garbage in the bathroom. The bathroom could have more hooks to hang clothing/towels. The apartment itself is a decent walk from Ikebukuro station (about 20 min), there are smaller stations that are closer 8-10 min but to get to big areas and JR line it is easier to go to the bigger station. Also it is an apartment on the 4th floor and no elevator.

Spacious and comfortable
Pros: We had a great time at the Nishiike Apartment The apartment was spacious (with quite a big wardrobe and plenty of cupboards in the hall, bathroom and kitchen), comfortable, clean and equipped with basic amenities. The fridge freezer, air conditioning and washing machine were a plus and very much used during our stay there. We had no issues with the instructions to arrive at the location (they were very well organised, had maps and distance from the apartment to each main place) and with the box to collect the keys. Overall, we had a great time and it was a great value.
Cons: We didn't like the fact that the apartment was located on the 4th floor and the building had no lift. It was not easy to carry the suitcases all the way up. Although, we had three metro stations around the apartment, they were not really that close and, after a long day walking around Tokyo, it was quite unpleasant to walk back there. This was entirely my fault as the distances were clearly highlighted on the instructions file.

Pros: Zimmer und Bad haben eine gute Größe, besonders im Vergleich zu Hotelzimmern in Tokio. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Cons: Das Apartment ist recht dunkel, alleinige Lichtquelle ist das Fenster im Bad. Die Lage ist solala, nicht schlecht aber man muss mind. 10-13 min zur nächsten Metro Haltestele laufen.

CP值很高的住宿,房間算大(可以打開3個行李箱沒問題)且乾淨,價格划算CP值很高,走到要町站大概10分鐘內,房東訊息回覆快速,小缺點是床不太好睡。
Pros: 房間算大(可以打開3個行李箱沒問題),價格划算CP值很高,浴室也有乾濕分離,走到要町站大概10分鐘內,池袋應該要15-20分鐘左右,離7-11只需要2分鐘就能走到,房東訊息回覆很快速。
Cons: 小缺點就是沒有電梯,行李搬得比較吃力(但這在住宿前方東就有說明了),另一個小缺點是床不太好睡(彈簧床)感覺是有點廉價的床。
