The place was just as pictured, when we first made it to town there Yoko was finishing up cleaning our place but she came out and checked us in and introduced herself. We didn't get a chance to meet Taro until the day we left but anything I need he quickly texted me back or called to tend to whatever it was. The place itself was awesome we planned to BBQ but the weather said other wise but the patio/deck was crazy... Crazy good that is! After talking to Taro I told him that I would love to come back so I guess that is the only part of the review you need to read but other wise the neighborhood was active but quite and there were stores and places to eat within walking distance and although we didn't ride the train it was literally 5 minutes away walking... I would say chose this listing on all aspects... The only issue I had nothing to do with Taro & Yoko I lived in Chicago and I have seen bad traffic but I would say leave early if going to New York it took an hour to drive to Brooklyn which was only 12 miles ways.... Even with that I plan on coming back so that also says a lot... Thanks guys...
