Aki's place is really a rare find. We went for the deluxe private room and it was a smart choice. We got our little privacy and that we get to control our heating unit as it's at the corner of the house. Aki is a very polite and humble hostess with the mostest. Since I booked my stay back in February or March of this year she had been in frequent communication with us. As this is our first time visiting Japan, she bent over her backwards to help us as much and beyond so we could have a worry-less stay visiting Tokyo et al. We stayed at her place for a week. Her pocket Wifi is really a must to borrow and use and what a saving grace that was. On every 3rd day she would do our laundry and clean up our room. There are several house rules that her guests must strictly observed and followed. The only drawback sometimes is that there are only one shared bathroom and toilet and twice I had to wait in line to use them. I witnessed one of the night she got 4 rooms all settled in so it is advisable to bring and keep close to your belongings especially while being out and about. We only saw her one cat and watch out being playful but not necessarily friendly. High CP value! We will again stay at her place in a hearbeat when we visit Tokyo again. Thank you Aki for being the most attentive hostess with the mostest!!!
