Urban Residence Ikebukuro East

I love this house.

Pros: It’s clean, warm, good-located. You can walk to Sunshine city. It only takes 7-8 mins. There are many restaurants and shops in Sunshine city. Hiro is very friendly. He prepared almost everything. I will definitely choose this house again.

Pros: Location was perfect, 5 minutes walk from train station and 7/11, and only around 10 minutes walk from the shopping centre. Water pressure in the shower was amazing, and the house was equipped with everything you might need, from extra towels and blankets, to hanging racks and washing machine. There was also 2 toilets which came in handy.

A wonderful place to stay and a great location for exploring Tokyo. Hiro is a wonderful host and I highly recommend his

Pros: It’s warm and the beds are very comfortable. Hiro has everything you need for a family to stay there. It’s close to trains, 7Eleven and Sunshine City which is full of interesting stores and restaurants.

Cons: Nothing, it was all perfect!

Wonderful stay at Ikebukuro

Pros: Hiro-san's house provides a very comfortable and highly practical accommodation option. Our host, Hiro-san, welcomed us warmly, showing us to the space our and offering helpful English maps. His kitchen was stocked with ample coffee, tea, and snacks. The bedrooms were spacious for our family, and the availability of a washer and dryer was extremely convenient. The house is situated in a quiet residential area, conveniently located a short walk from Higashi-Ikebukuro Station. This station offers a seamless connection (one stop) to many other lines at Ikebukuro. Essential amenities, including a nearby convenience store, coin laundromat, and vending machines, are all within easy reach.

Cons: N/A

Pros: A wonderful place in Tokyo, not too far from popular attractions for such a big city. The house is well-kept and clean, the rooms are comfortable and each one has air conditioning. Two toilets and two bathrooms! Cozy and equipped with everything you need. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. There’s a 7/11 nearby and delicious traditional breakfasts. Good public transportation. The host, Hiro, is very kind and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Pros: Always nice to stay at Hiro's place. He is a great host and the place is great.

A comfortable stay in residential Ikebukuro.

Pros: 3 comfortable bedrooms. 2 toilets. Host provided a lot of practical amenities. Good heating. Coffee, Milk and some snacks provided. Location was in a residential area, close to shops and transport. If you were travelling light then it would be easy to get to by train, however we used a car service as we had a lot of luggage. Hiro was a charming and accommodating host.

Cons: The kitchen was very basic and you would not be cooking a 3 course meal, however it was still usable for what we needed.

Excellent private and comfortable accomodation in a great location.

Pros: The property is spacious and very clean with big comfortable beds. The host lives below, and the accomodation is completely separate and private. You wouldn't know the host was there unless you ask for him, at which time he is very friendly and helpful and speaks excellent English. The neighbourhood is very nice and quiet, the metro is handy, and there are excellent bars and restaurants nearby, as well as the beautiful Gokokuji Temple.

Cons: There is only one small couch, but this wasn't really a problem because we were out most of the time.

Spacious, Good location, Great value!

Pros: It was good value to stay here...very spacious for Tokyo. The location is good...close to train station and also nice and quiet area. Very close to shops and good base to explore Tokyo. Host Hiro was very helpful and speaks good English. Would stay here again if we return to Tokyo.

Pros: Hiro was a great host - very generous with his time Very welcoming Lots of provisions provided e.g. coffee, tea, snacks, maps Close to subway
