Mariko's place was perfect. I chose the location to be close to the finish of the NYC Marathon and it was way more than that. I was 2 blocks from Broadway, only a mile from Central Park. Mariko and her husband were very communicative and close if I needed anything. Their apt was spacious and had all the ammenities for staying in or celebrating out on the town. I have stayed at other AirBNBs in NYC and this by far has been the best place.
