Marikos place is quite deep into the neighbourhood. We drove and so we found the distance quite manageable. It has all the amenities that you would need. A washer, a kitchen which you could use which is shared with the owners son next door. To reduce inconvenience, we decided to not use anything from the kitchen to help with the host. Its a spacious house for 5 of us with a nice patio, only thing was it was too cold to use. There is a beautiful garden as well and a parking space. But do take note the space is very very small and if you drive a large MPV, you will not be able to use the parking as you cannot enter the area due to large vehicles parked at the entrance.
The host was extremely kind and we got to meet her. The house was clean and we had a great time in Tokyo. Thank you Mariko!! We hope to stay with you in future. Cheers!!
