I found this to be a great place to stay in part because Maria is very friendly. There is art hanging on the walls of the house from Maria's collection. This was an art gallery and Maria is an expert on the subject. Mineta House is very clean and carefully taken care of. I used to live close by, so the transport is familiar to me and I like the area very much. I hope to return, if Mineta house does not become too crowded and expensive because of positive review like mine.
