Selina’s place is good for single travellers on a budget. The room is simple, with a futon bed and basic kitchen/bathroom necessities.
The bathroom is a basic, shared toilet. There’s no shower, so a trip to the local bathing house is necessary. It’s cheap, but it is essential to become familiar bathing process and be comfortable with being naked in front of strangers (I know this is natural thing for some, but not common in other cultures)
The room is about a 10 minute walk from the station, but keep in mind that the walk back to the station is uphill, so it may be better to take a taxi when returning if you have heavy luggage (about ¥600)
The closest station in on the same line as Ikebukuro, and is in a convenient location to transfer to main stations such as Tokyo and Ginza.
Selina is very quick to respond to messages, and was very polite. Directions to the apartment from the station are clear, and there are supermarkets/convenience stores nearby, as well as some restaurants within walking distance.
Please keep in mind that this accomodation is basic. It’s cheap, but the price matches what you get. No shower, shared bathroom, single room. There is a kettle, but no microwave or fridge. But, this accommodation is great for those who will be outside for most of the day, and are primarily only using the place to sleep.
Thanks for the stay, Selina.
