Noriko was one of the best hosts we had come across. When a minor issue with the shower came up, she responded immediately and was here within an hour to help fix the issue. She was always nice and promptly answered our messages and questions. She provided refreshments for our arrival and even restocked the fridge when she came over to help fix the shower. Noriko also allowed us to check in early and leave our bags at the place when we checked out late, which helped us tremendously. Her place was bigger than what we expected for New York and was very clean. Everything had little notes on them so we immediately figured out how to find things and how things worked. That was very thoughtful. Her place was close to two major lines of subway so transportation was convenient. We would recommend Noriko's place to anyone wishing to stay at New York. Thank you Noriko for making our stay so pleasant!
