Kazumi is a fantastic host, excellent hospitality, responsive and gives great suggestions! I was travelling with a toddler and Kazumi gave great ideas on where I could bring my toddler to have fun. She also checks on guests regularly to ensure they are doing well. This gives me great assurance that I have someone to rely on if I need help.
Kazumi's apartment is extremely convenient, being just a few minutes walk from the train station. There are 1 supermarket and 2 convenient stores near the apartment where I could easily get groceries. The neighbourhood is nice and quiet at night and one can have a good night's rest easily. The apartment is clean and cosy too.
For those travelling from Narita airport, do check on the train destinations carefully before boarding. Some trains are on rapid service during peak hours and do not stop at Kita-Akabane.
