Guest Reviews

• Renard (8/5): Rapport qualité prix top dans cette maison agréable - Le proprio habite juste à côté et il est très serviable. Proximité des transports et commerces. Nous avons pu laissé nos bagages le dernier jour et pu nous promener tranquillement en attendant l'heure d'aller à l'aéroport. les pièces sont à l'étage mais il y a assez de place en bas pour y laisser plusieurs valises. La porte de la chambre à côté de la cuisine grince et est bruyante.
• Xiaoqian (10/5): I love this house. - 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.
• Elizabeth (10/5): - 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.
• Selena (10/5): - Best ARBNB we've ever stayed in! Hiro was extrmely helpful from the time we checked in to the time we checked out. His communication was excellent. He allowed us to store our bags the last day while we went shopping. The place had everything we could possibly need. Coffee and tea was available, had a hot plate to cook saimin and fry eggs for the morning. Centrally located and the train station was a 5 minute walk. A grocery store and 7-11 were literally a 2 minute walk. Loved staying in a neighborhood rather than a touristy hotel. Would definitely recommed! Nothing... It was perfect...
• Lucy (10/5): A wonderful place to stay and a great location for exploring Tokyo. Hiro is a wonderful host and I highly recommend his - 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. Nothing, it was all perfect!
• Abdulaziz (9/5): -
• Roman (9/5): -
• Stefan (9/5): Ein gelungener Tokiourlaub, alles hat perfekt gepasst! - Es waren außerordentlich große Schlafzimmer, Möglichkeit zu Waschen und Trocknen, kleiner Aufenthaltsraum mit kleiner Küche, 2 WCs und vor allem die Nähe zu den Zügen. Und ganz besonders nett und hilfsbereit war Mr. Hiro.
• Wayne (10/5): Wonderful stay at Ikebukuro - 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. N/A
• Yi Hao (10/5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – One of the Best Stays I’ve Had in Tokyo - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – One of the Best Stays I’ve Had in Tokyo I stayed at Urban Residence Ikebukuro East from 6 to 14 August and had an exceptional experience. The host, Naomichi Hiro Terazaki, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. He made the check-in process smooth and provided clear guidance throughout the stay. All the information in the apartment was well documented, thoughtfully translated into English, and easy to follow — a small detail that made a big difference for international travellers. The apartment itself was spotless, modern, and very well equipped. Everything worked perfectly — from the kitchen appliances to the laundry facilities — and the layout was comfortable for both resting and working. It truly felt like a home away from home. The location is another highlight. Just minutes away from Ikebukuro Station and surrounded by convenience stores, cafés and food options, it made exploring Tokyo extremely convenient. Despite being near a busy district, the apartment was quiet and private, so I could rest well after a long day out. Overall, this was a 10/10 stay — clean, convenient, great host, and excellent value. I would happily stay here again on future trips to Tokyo and will definitely recommend it to friends and family.
• Eric (9/5): 地理位置很好，却能享受安宁的居所 - 极佳的地理位置，居室面积比较大。 房间干净，维护得很好。 房主 Hiro 是一个友善的人。他提供了居所介绍和周边信息，非常有用。房间内还有多语种旅行介绍手册。 居室内的灯光可调亮度，走廊的灯是自动的。 存放毛巾的位置可以再多点。
• Chookitch (10/5): - Gteat hospitality by Hiro san. Nice and spacious 3 bedrooms, feel like home. Quiet area and only 10 mins walk to Sunshine Mall and walking street.Several 7 Eleven and Lawson around. Will comd back for sure. None.
• Raphael (10/5): - 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! Nothing
• Abdullah (10/5): - Like a second home. Hiro was an exceptional host.
• SANTANDER (9/5): -
• Karen (10/5): Home away from home. - The property has everything that you may need, the beds are very comfortable, and the owner provides all daily necessities. We loved the location, it's quiet, away from the hustle of downtown, yet close to a metro station, a mall with me than 250 stores, and a couple of 711. But what made the difference is Mr. Hiro, the property's owner. His constant and clear communication was very appreciated. My son left some clothes behind and Mr.Hiro was so gracious and kind as to mail it to us to our next destination. See you soon, Hiro! There is nothing that I don't like. Everything was perfect.
• sylvia (9/5): -
• Marie (10/5): Our stay were enjoyable, and we will definitely return and recommend it to friends and family. - We recently had the pleasure of staying at a property hosted by Hiro. The property was exceptionally clean and spacious, providing a comfortable environment throughout our stay. Its location was highly convenient, with easy access to the mall, train station, and complete amenities, making it an ideal choice for travelers. Hiro, the host, was incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring all our needs were met with great hospitality. The amenities provided were complete and well-maintained, enhancing the overall experience. I highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a convenient and welcoming place to stay. Nothing
• Anita (10/5): Exceptional - Always nice to stay at Hiro's place. He is a great host and the place is great.
• Yvonne (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the location. It was close to the metro station and lots of restaurants and shopping but it was tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were comfortable. We had basic supplies upon arrival such as coffee, creamer, sugar, shampoo ECT. There was excellent attention to detail. Hiro, the host had a booklet with all the appliances and controls translated into English. There were plenty of walking maps and brochures provided as well. Shower had good water pressure. The washer and dryer were definitely a bonus. I highly recommend staying here for your next visit to Tokyo.
• Bruce (10/5): I’d definitely stay there again. - Kitchen was a bit lacking but we ate out most of the time so it didn’t really matter. Lots of great restaurants in the area.
• Yuyun (10/5): Walks to Ikebukuro! - Hiro is a wonderful host. He greeted us upon arrival and provided a lot of helpful information to go about Tokyo. The house is old, but is well kept and very clean. It is conveniently located in a few minutes’ walk to Sunshine City Mall with many restaurants and two grocery stores. Ikebukuro is within 15 minutes’ walk. Subway station and a seven-eleven is 5 minutes’ walk! We really enjoyed our stay in Tokyo! If we come back to Tokyo, we will definite stay here again!
• Marko (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gricelda (10/5): Kind host great location - The location near the train station, the mall and convenience stores That it has only one toilet
• Fraser (9/5): A comfortable stay in residential Ikebukuro. - 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. The kitchen was very basic and you would not be cooking a 3 course meal, however it was still usable for what we needed.
• Vanessa (9/5): Excellent private and comfortable accomodation in a great location. - 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. There is only one small couch, but this wasn't really a problem because we were out most of the time.
• Shelley (10/5): Spacious, Good location, Great value! - 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.
• O'keeffe (9/5): Superb - 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
• Yee (10/5): Best stay we had - Mr Hiro is very hospitality. Meet us in person and guide us a lot during our stay. The house is well equipped and very comfortable, everything you need is well prepared in the house. The rooms are pretty big for Japan house and there is a family space (living room) comfortable for 5 people. The house has 2 toilets and 2 bathrooms (1 with bathtub) which is amazing after you had a long day and soak in the hot bath! The house is near the station but quiet. Restaurant, supermarket, shops and convenient store are just walking distance. Will definitely recommend to our friends! Thank you so much!
• Yichen (10/5): Cozy apartment with great amenities, a convenient location, and very nice host - We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! Hiro-san, the host, was incredibly kind and helpful, which made our experience even better. The apartment itself is cosy with a lovely blend of Western and Japanese styles. The location is great—close to a tube station and not far from the main Ikebukuro train station. The apartment was equipped with all the facilities and amenities we needed, making it very convenient for our family trip. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!
• Amelia (10/5): Recommended accommodation for group travel - - The holiday home is really spacious, perfect for a group of 4-5 people - It is super clean - There are three bedrooms, one small living room, two showers and two toilets so it’s never crowded - The boss is very hospitable and speaks perfect english - Everything that one might need for a short stay is provided, like cups, cutlery, microwave, kettle, even coffee machine and tea. There are a washing machine and dryer for free usage - Very good price performance ratio if travelling in a group - The location is central enough for us, about 5 mins walk from Higashi-ikebukuro metro station (Yurakucho Y line) It‘s nitpicking, but a few things: - Needs to change some of the pillows as they’re already too worn out - Thicker duvet would be appreciated - Location is not directly on a major train line (i.e. Yamanote line). The tokyo metro fare system doesn’t make sense, everytime you change a train line you have to buy a new ticket. The fare is not measured by distance. E.g. if you want to go to Shinjuku, boarding the train in Higashi-ikebukuro (Y line) and then after one short ride changing to Yamanote line in Ikebukuro will cost you 2x178 yen = 356 yen. If you walk to Ikebukuro to take Yamanote line instead it will cost you just 178 yen since you‘re not changing any lines. So folks that want to save money on the metro may look for an accomodation near a major train station or near their places of interest instead.

We would definitely stay again and 100% recommend Hiros place. Thank you for having us 😊 everything was perfect. Thank you
• Wendy (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodations were comfortable and worked out great for our family of 4! Rooms were air conditioned, plenty of space, 1.5 bathrooms, washing machine/dryer, kitchen amenities, walked to sunshine city and Higashi-ikebukuro station (can take train to ikebukuro station or just walk another 10 min). Ikebukuro had more than we expected - plenty of shopping and dining, and we found it easy to take the train to other areas. Hiro was a kind and wonderful host!
