I stayed at Mariko's lovely home for 5 nights and it was an absolute pleasure. She is my model super host who is tuned into her guest's comfort and needs. Her warmth hospitality made her guest feels at home. Her amiable and unassuming nature made you feel at ease. By the end of the stay I felt like I am a part of the household :). Thanks Mariko for sharing your home, I enjoyed our conversation and meals exchange :). The bed was very comfortable, the best sleep I had since the past many months! (now that all are in college!). Thank you!
