Akiko' place was very clean and nice. It is a very short walk to 2 types of public transportation, the bus line and a bike rental. Riding the bike to the beach was really nice. There were a couple of nice hills. The bus is very inexpensive, $1.75, and can connect to another bus to take you to Malibu. The accommodations exceeded expectations and cleanliness and hospitality. I highly recommend her place as a place to stay.
