Great hospitality!
Mariko san is very nice. She is sincere and treat you well as a host.
The house space is more than enough for one or two people to enjoy cooking, reading or having coffee at the backyard. Room is clean and spacious.
Location is not too close to town but the house is just next to 405. Convenient to go to anywhere in LA. Be aware of the traffic after 1500.
There are regular piano classes in the house. It will be a bonus for you to connect with a passionate pianist if you are music lover!
If you're looking for a clean and peaceful environment, Mariko's house is highly recommended!
