As a first time AirBNB user, I was pleasantly surprised by the experience.
First off, the home. The home is absolutely beautiful and pictured as is. No surprises here. She granted me access to a private bathroom with toiletries and the kitchen for anything I needed including some storage area in the fridge.
Secondly, the host. Mariko wasn't going to be there upon my arrival, but she was easily able to make accommodations for me to get access to her home and gave me a map, so I knew which areas I would have access to. We didn't interact a ton during my stay, since I was gone frequently, but during every interaction she was very thoughtful and helpful.
The only downside was that it was a very hot weekend, so the home was a little warm, but it cooled down quite a bit at night. Besides that, everything else was great and I recommend staying here.
