Vacation rentals with a patio in Sumida River

Very good neighborhood and a very nice place, will recommend for anyone traveling to Tokyo!

Staying at this hidden gem was an absolute treat. Pati, our wonderful host, made our first trip to Japan unforgettable by offering amazing recommendations for food, shopping, and travel. After much research on where to stay, discovering Koenji and Pati's place felt like finding gold at the end of the rainbow. The location was perfect for us, as we love to walk—stations were easily accessible by foot, and the Koenji shops were just a short stroll away. The space itself was perfect—spacious, full of natural light, with a lovely little balcony. The large dining table and open layout made it feel like a true home away from home. We stayed for 8 nights and it was ideal for a longer stay. Despite the cold weather and snow on the first night, the heating kept us warm and cozy. Hot tip: definitely rent a bike to explore Koenji and Tokyo—it’s a fantastic way to get around. Thank you again, Pati, for your kindness and hospitality. We can’t wait to return to our new favorite place in Tokyo! :)

Great place and convenient location near the subway station! Very clean and cozy.

Helen and Sozo were great hosts. They checked on us and made all instructions clear. The apartment is clean and quiet. It worked well for our family of 4, 6 might be tight unless you have small children. The location is in a cute neighborhood and was nice to come back to after a busy day in the city. 7-11 and restaurants all close by. Easy walk to JR line or subway. So glad we stayed here!

Communication is very timely, and the check-in instructions are very clear, there is a supermarket nearby, about 10 minutes walk from the subway

The airbnb is very near to the station. The host even waited for us in the train station to help with the luggages. She was very friendly and recommended a lot of restaurants nearby that we can try. The neighborhood is very peaceful and it felt relaxing after a long day of touring around the city. The room is very spacious and enough for 4 people to freely move around. It is very clean, air condition is cold and there are towels provided. The towels could also be washed and changed upon request. On top of that, the host responds quickly and also sends us daily updates of weather forecasts. Since rain was forecasted during our stay, there were also a lot of umbrellas ready on the first floor. Overall, this is one of the nicest airbnbs we have stayed at. I recommend this place a lot and will definitely book this room again whenever we come back to Tokyo in the future!

I like it because the subway station is really close. And there were a lot of convenience stores, marts, and restaurants near the house, so it was convenient. Chikuzen-ya Motsu Yaki Kaku Yoshikawa Shop There was a restaurant here, so I just went in, and it was really the best. If you're staying here, you should definitely go! Most of the accommodations in Tokyo have the disadvantage of being extremely small, but this place is relatively spacious. But the bed was small, so it was a little uncomfortable. The bathroom is clean and the house is clean. Two of us stayed for 4 nights, but there were only 2 large towels and 2 small towels, so there weren't enough towels. Fortunately, I was able to use the washing machine, so I washed the towels and used them. They asked us to thoroughly separate the garbage, but it was a little different from Korea, so I was confused. Still, I tried my best. I was a little lost because the key to the accommodation was in a different key box than the one I was guided to when I first checked in. The price was cheap, so it was a little far from the main tourist attractions, but it was nice because it was easy to get around by subway. If I go to Tokyo next time, I'm willing to go again. It was a shame that the laundry room smelled a little. You can close the door, but it looks like it needs improvement. Thank you.

Very close, 10 minutes walk to the Akihabara area but in a very quiet part of town as well. Easy to find and access the place. Very safe and accessible to several grocery and convenience stores. The host was very organized and provided excellent communication. If you want a place that is close to everything yet quiet and clean, choose this place. Would definitely stay here again if I come back to this section of Tokyo.

Perfect for a big family, walkable to many areas and transportation, clean and well equipped

Overall, we had a great stay. Good location, good amenities, and plenty of room for our party of 8. We did a last minute booking, and they were able to turn the place around in a timely manner for our stay. The host met us at check-in, and was very responsive and periodically checked in throughout our stay. However, it should be noted that the house is located on a pretty steep hill which could be a cause for concern for folks especially parties with older/elderly guests as we could not drive up it, and uber/taxi did not drive up to drop you off. Other than that, the stay was great and worth the cost.

My friends and I loved the place. Close to the station and really yummy restaurants. Beds were comfy and the rooms were very spacious. Best sleep we had our whole holiday

I had an absolutely wonderful stay! The home was spotless—clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The attention to detail really made it feel like a home away from home. Communication with the host was outstanding—quick responses, clear instructions, and they were incredibly helpful and kind throughout the entire stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

It was nice. The place has a parking lot so it will be a good option if you get a rental car. Without car, you might have some difficulties to go Tokyo area.

Our family of four stayed here for eight nights. The host couple personally welcomed us, brought us gifts, introduced us in detail the use of the appliances, facilities and precautions, and very thoughtfully prepared baby wipes, shower gel, toys and other baby supplies for the baby who came with us. The refrigerator in the kitchen on the second floor was filled with water, drinks, yogurt and other food for our free use.The house is very clean, the stairs to the 2nd and 3rd floor, kitchen, and rooms are spotless and impeccable.The surrounding environment of the residence is very quiet, the living atmosphere is strong, in stark contrast to the crowded downtown area of Tokyo, and there are convenience stores, fast food stores, restaurants, large supermarkets and other dining facilities within walking distance.The living room, kitchen, and living room on the second floor provide a convenient living space for our family. We will have breakfast together in the kitchen in the morning, start the day after eating, and rest and chat in the living room after returning to the residence at night.The Host was very responsive and always quick to respond to messages. More importantly, she was quick and enthusiastic to help us collect and dispose of kitchen and household waste during our trip. Tourists who have been to Japan know how important this is!The stairs to the 2nd and 3rd floors are narrow and steep (it can't be helped, it's a common problem in Japanese single-family buildings), it can be a bit difficult for the elderly who need to carry large luggage upstairs and have mobility issues, but the stairs are equipped with handrails to ensure safety when going up and down the steps.If you want to avoid the crowds of downtown Tokyo, this is a great place for a family to live.

The house is super clean and cozy. It was so convenient place to go anywhere. If we have a chance to come to Tokyo again, we definitely use it again!!

The place is walkable to the train station and there is a shopping arcade with supermarkets and eating places nearby. The host was very responsive, helpful and friendly!

Convenient transportation, fully furnished rooms, and a pleasant vacation.

Very nice apartment, a little far from the metro but easy to get to. The elevator in the residence is a real plus because traveling with a stroller is really convenient. I had a hard time finding the airbnb and the host made it easy for me to find it. Small present at the end of the stay issued by the host which makes the experience even more enjoyable. I recommend it without hesitating!

Location is great just a few minutes walking to two train stations. We had lots of luggage and our host was so nice to let us drop off early and leave it late really saving us from the hassle of dragging things around the city. Space was comfortable and had everything we needed to have a great time in Tokyo. If we’re ever back we’ll definitely look to book again.

The stay was lovely and so clean! Very nice and quiet area, not too far from Shibuya. We arrived late into Tokyo and I booked it at the airport last minute - the instant book and self check in was so easy. Hong was so helpful and friendly and the response time was so fast!

Location was great, few minutes walk to train station and easy to go around the city. Mall located near the place as well.

The host was incredibly kind and responsive — when we realized the place wasn’t the right fit for our family, they graciously allowed us to shorten our stay without any issues. The unit was clean, spacious for Tokyo standards, and very close to Shinjuku Station, which made getting around easy. That said, the building and surrounding area weren’t quite what we expected. It’s near the red-light district, which may not bother everyone, but it didn’t feel right for us. The building is older, with worn common areas. We saw puddles in the hallway — possibly from the weather — and generators nearby added some noise. The elevator also showed its age. With a young child who has sensory needs, it felt a bit overstimulating — not because of the host, but due to the building and neighborhood. If you’re okay with a grittier, urban, high-adult traffic area and want access to Shinjuku nightlife and trains, it could work well.

Enjoyed our stay here! It’s about 15 mins walk from ikebukuro station, slightly away from the hustle and bustle. The neighbourhood also felt safe for girls. There are also family mart and lawson nearby. Overall really convenient and space was really big for Tokyo standards

This was a perfect spot for us and our 3 teenagers. We could get to the train stations easily, shopping and food choices nearby were abundant, and the host was amazingly responsive and accommodating. I especially appreciated how responsive the host was. We had some questions during our stay about the area and such, and they provided tips and help immediately. We also loved that they had water, juice, and coffee in the fridge for us when we arrived. After a long day of travel, the drinks were very much appreciated. If we were to stay in Shinjuku again, we would definitely stay here.
