Serina is an extraordinarily friendly and kind person and, as many other reviewers have enthusiastically stated, she goes above and beyond as a host to make you feel at home with her generous hospitality. For me, that included an accompanied bike tour through her charming and beautiful neighborhood during the height of cherry blossom season. She's truly a wonderful host and conversationalist and you'll be greeted as a friend. She patiently answered every question I had about what to see and how to get there. The bedroom was spacious and cozy and included every amenity I needed. The house clean and welcoming. The nearest train station is within a short 10 minute walk and you'll enjoy exploring the neighborhood, which has a leisurely, unhurried pace that provides a welcome balance to frenzied rush of nearby Shinjuku. Highly recommended. Stay here, meet Serina, and it's sure to be one of the highlights of your trip. Thanks Serina!
