If you come to LA, it will be a shame if you dont stay in Mariko's cozy house. She's the most warm-hearted lady I've ever known in my life. I appreciate her hospitality:) There's a SteinWay&Bro in her living room which makes the most pleasant melody in the world. She lets you park in front of her garage instead of street parking. She told me to treat her house as my own house....what elese do you expect for a short term stay? You get what you would not get from those Hiltons! Overall 5 stars!
