Ms. Mariko was very welcoming. I phoned to let her know I had arrived in town but would not be arriving at her house until later that day. She was very flexible and is a sweet woman. Her home is lovely. Very zen, peaceful and serene. Neighborhood is quiet. I found street parking without problem. Bed was comfortable. Room furnished nicely. I was able to access internet with my iPad. Ms. Mariko offered me a shelf in refrigerator and kitchen access but I had no need as I was enjoying restaurants during my visit. I left the house very early each day and returned late evening in time to shower and sleep. The location was perfect for my visit to friends living nearby. Mariko's piano students were no interruption for me.
I would highly recommend Mariko's airbnb.
