It is difficult because there are many restrictions such as getting a guarantor, key deposit...etc... so here are a couple of websites for real estate agents to help you guys out.
Enplus Inc. (Tokyo Apartments)- www.tokyoapartments.jp
Collective Residence- http://collectiveresidence.com
Japan Apartment- www.tokyoeasyrent.com/en
Fontana- www.tokyocityapartments.net
Sakura House- www.sakura-house.com
Me and my friends are using Fontana and they have reasonable priced housing in Tokyo(although the complex we are renting is rather old). The apartments are fully furnished so you don't have to worry about getting furniture.
About Keio Housing
I recommend Hiyoshi International House because it is perhaps the cheapest option (56000yen including utilities). The room is also spacious and comfortable.
All the dorms at Keio do not allow visitors in the apartments but Hiyoshi is perhaps the most lenient because they don't really monitor the students. I know that Plume and Shimoda has more restrictions because there's always someone at the front.
You may be able to bypass the front desk at Shimoda by going through the emergency door on the right side of the building. This is if you and your party intend to stay past 11pm (when all guests have to leave)
Most of the classes for both KIP and JLP are at Mita campus which is about 40 minutes from Hiyoshi. There is a Keio campus at Hiyoshi but the classes offered there are a few seminar classes and some beginning Japanese classes. If you think you are going to be placed in level 1 and 2, you might be taking some of your Japanese classes at Hiyoshi. Otherwise, you will most likely be having all your classes at Mita campus.
