Nana greeted me early morning and was very quick and responsive to my inquiries. Although she did not live here, Nana organized a Korean BBQ in celebration of Obon. I got to meet other people. It was great.
This share house has about 20 female guests, some are there long term. At first I wasn't used to so many people but everyone I met are friendly. There is a good mix of people - Japanese, working holiday makers, and travellers. The apartment is 2 levels, regularly cleaned, and has all my kitchen needs. You may need to purchase your own laundry detergent (washer operates on 100yen). Fridge space is limited. You may need to wait to use the toilets.
The location is great, very close to Otsuka station (Yamanote Line), grocery stores, and walkable to Ikebukuro (15mins). I recommend this place for the people and convenient location. Thanks Nana!
