Mariko's place was wonderful in many ways. The location was perfect_ Easy to reach from different approaches to or within Seattle. The house was as lovely as it was presented on the website. Super clean, with contemporary bathrooms, living room, kitchen and large deck overlooking the lake. The bedrooms were painted in peaceful pastel colors, with such comfy beds and pillows and linens. Super clean! Mariko is a wonderful host and we enjoyed her gift basket of goodies and information about Seattle. I highly recommend Mariko's home.
