Mariko is a wonderful and caring soul who welcomed me into her home, which now feels like my home away from home. Her house was within walking distance to the recording studio where I needed to be every day for a week which was super convenient. She has two pianos which was perfect for my daily vocal warmups! The bed and comforter were so comfortable, and the lux robe and rosemary sprigs in the room were a great touch. The garden is also fantastic to sit and relax or work in. Can’t wait to stay again when I’m next in the area!
