Hi...We stayed at Mariko's apartment during the Holidays. I have to say that we were very happy with the accomodations. To start with , Mariko was very accomodating, kind, and always responsive to our emails, calls, or texts. She was mindful of making sure we were good and even troubled herself with contacting a car service for our return back to the airport.
The apartment is a good size space for two people. I would not say more than two people. It had all the accomodations needed for a small apartment in case you wanted to bring your own food. Very clean apartment. Beds were decent. The one in the bedroom is an actual bed and the second bed is a futon. I slept in the futon and was totally fine. Because it is winter, you can imagine how cold it was. But the apartment was fully heated and fine. The only thing is that you can feel the draft of air coming in through the windows of the two rooms. But it was manageable.
The best part was the location. We couldn't have chosen a better location. It was a few block away from the subway that took you just about anywhere and walking distance to central park. It was awesome. You won't regret picking this location if you want something not so in the middle of everything.
I would stay there again!!
