Great place for single women travelers. Being here was like staying with a friend, and Mariko is lovely. The bed is a single, not something I noticed when booking, but because I was there on my own, it was no problem. The bedroom is a ways away from the designated bathroom and that bathroom may be used by her piano students, so be sure to bring a bathrobe and be prepared to shuttle your toiletries. The bedroom itself is sweet, but the bed was a bit uncomfortable: creaky, and mattress needs to be replaced. The mattress is the only reason I might not book in here again because otherwise this is a lovely space and host. The yard is a little oasis in the neighborhood, and I wish I had had more time to rest and relax out there. My trip was unfortunately cut short as I received news of the death of a dear friend and had to return home immediately. I mention this because Mariko was very kind and refunded all the nights I did not stay there, despite no advance notice. Hope to stay there again once the mattress is replaced!
