Found an apartment near Agariyashiki Park in West Ikebukuro—any thoughts on the area?

Hi,

I’m planning to spend a month in Tokyo and so I'm looking for a 1 month short term rental. I found a place in the west side of Ikebukuro, right by Toshima-ku Agariyashiki Park. The area seems nice, but I’m wondering if it might be too nightlife heavy, as I'm not looking for anything of that sort. I’d love any thoughts from people who know the area well, to say whether it fits my requirements!

Here’s what I’m looking for:

1. Good train access: Top priority is being well connected to get around the city easily, for which Ikebukuro seems perfect
2. Food options and izakayas: Ideally, there’s a good mix of places to eat.
3. Not too party-heavy: Hoping for somewhere where nightlife isn’t overwhelming. I’m trying to avoid areas with a big club scene. This is the part that worries me worst, from what I've seen on this subreddit so far.

Would Ikebukuro be the right choice, or should I keep looking? Do you think there's an area that would fit my criteria more?

Last time I visited, I really liked Daikanyama and Ebisu, but they are too expensive for me to stay in while still having a private apartment. Do you know of any other similar neighborhoods, maybe slightly further away from the city center, while still being connected to it?

Thanks in advance for any insights!
