Quiet,Cozy,Spacious home in Tokyo!

I only had a short stay with Seryna in Tokyo, I was just planning to stop over in Tokyo for a bit before getting on my flight from Narita, but the typhoon Hagibis arrived while I was staying and made the experience much more memorable :)

I hope if you stay with her you don't get hit by a typhoon, but I can assure you that if it does happen you will be well taken care of. Seryna cooked meals for me, made sure I was safe during the typhoon and was a great person to chat to.

Her house is in a convenient location for reaching either Ikebukuro or Tokyo by train and underground, she has bikes available if you want to cycle around the city and the building didn't fall apart during the typhoon; would recommend.

Dear Selina,
I am so very thankful for the time I got to spend with you!
I stayed with Selina for 2 weeks, as I was waiting for a free room in a student dorm.
The location was very convenient and cozy as the house is located in a residential area with lots of cute little houses. Also there's plenty of grocery stores around. To the nearest station its only a 10 minutes walk.
Serinas house is very clean and tidy. During the homestay I felt that Serina has treated me like family and has taken care of me a lot. She is a very open minded and kind hearted person and fun to be around. I can definitely recommend a stay with her! It has been my best experience in Japan so far.
Cheers to Selina, I hope to see her again soon! :D

Loved landing and learning from Serina, she has so much energy to share and is very helpful. As I’ve been learning it’s not easy to find some accommodations initially including this one so prepln the route and get some visual cue’s. Little streets all look the same to my western eye and the address differs sometimes from the actual one. My bag was seated 2 days and thankfully Serina could talk to the deliverers to be sure it arrived to the correct door.
Time around the table with her and a lovely young German student was a wonderful way to head out into the big city and amazing country. Much Aloha to you for yours and accepting my energy at your Ohana.

The Homestay website was made for people like Serina. She is very welcoming and comforting, ensuring that her home is your home while there.

She knows a handful of languages that she is fluent in, and if she isn't fluent she is interested in learning more about it. Serina has traveled to many countries and knows what people will need and are looking for while away.

She opens up with wonderful conversation, teaches customs of the Japanese and has plenty of great spots to recommend. I spent plenty of mornings sipping a coffee letting the hours pass as we spoke.

The room is quite big with a bed, attached are drawers to the bed and a dresser across. Clothes can be hung in the closet and the best feature, the air conditioning.

Japan was exceptionally hot when I arrived and the air conditioning was a life saver.

I personally got lost a few times, away from her house and she didn't mind guiding me over a phone call. She even met me while I was lost to guide me back to her house.

I was here for a short while but felt like I lived there.

When I return to Japan in the future I will definitely be looking into staying with Serina again.

First time in Tokyo and from the moment I booked Serina was more than helpful and went above and beyond what I expected from a homestay.
Even before I got to Japan she was answering my questions and had detailed exactly how to get around. If I had not had her advice I would have wasted hours and money on trying to get around by myself.

The stay was amazing. Very Clean house and was very comfortable. 3-4min walk from the train station and the bike is also handy if you want to get around locally.
Suburban area which isn't too busy and not too far away from the main area via train.

Thanks for the awesome stay! :D

The stay was amazing. When I booked the room Serina immediately contacted me and sent me all of the directions to her house, including options I have never thought of. The directions were spot on. I got to her house pretty quickly. The room was a very good size with your own bathroom on the third floor. Everything was provided, a towel shampoo and some body wash. Which is amazing for those traveling light. When I sat down with Serina we had some really good conversations, I felt like we have known each other and were separated for only a short time. I felt right at home. Serina gave me great instructions on how to get places that I wanted to visit and even pointed out a few that I haven't thought of which turned out to be really fun. I would highly recommend staying here as the house is super clean and has a nice home vibe in a residential neighborhood away from the noise of the city, yet still very conveniently located next to 2 subway lines. Serina, thank you so much for having me over and making me feel welcome in your home.
