Haruko-san embodies Airbnb at it's core. She is the perfect host, and made me feel instantly at home. From the minute I saw her walking up to meet us at the station, I was excited for my stay with her. The fact that we did not speak each other's languages but were able to communicate through smiles, actions, and very few words, I can honestly say this was one of my most memorable experiences using Airbnb. Haruko-san is truly wonderful.
