Val and Yuko are very thoughtful and friendly. They left shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for me in the bathroom, made me dinner on several occasions, left me notes, and Yuko even gave me a parting gift. Very respectful hosts. The apartment is small, but Val and Yuko kept to themselves and gave me plenty of room and privacy to cook and do whatever I needed. The room is also small, but perfect for anyone traveling alone and in need of a quick or long term place to stay that's quiet and has a great location. I was traveling to New York for work and needed somewhere to stay for several weeks. The room was well stocked and had everything I needed, with lots of new cosmetics, bathroom essentials, clean bedding, towels, and plenty of space and shelves to hang clothes and store items. It also had great AC. Despite traveling and living alone, I felt very safe at Val and Yuko's. Overall, I had a great stay here!
