Mariko's house and yard are beautiful. She is very accommodating. Conveniences like driveway parking and your own bathroom are valuable in LA. I'd recommend her as a host. I'm sorry I didn't get to stay longer because my guest canceled on me and I had to cut my visit at Mariko's short. But she was very understanding about it. I'm very appreciative. Thank you, Mariko. You did everything right. I didn't want to leave.
