Aki san is a very wonderful host. She always reaches out to us every now and then. She can be easily contacted whenever we need her help and she attends to our needs as fast as she could. She also offered to wash our clothes. At first we were shy to let her wash our clothes but she says it's okay coz it's her routine. We also like her place. It's a traditional Japanese house that is so clean and very well maintained. The neighborhood has an upstate feel. It is very quiet and peaceful. It's definitely a home away from home. Her place is on our top priority when we go back.
