Akiko is a great host who keeps her house very clean and quiet. She was flexible with check-in time and welcomed me early in the morning to drop off my bag. The room was spot clean and there was a large bottle of Evian and a plate of fruits waiting for me. I thought that was such a nice touch. There were two bathrooms and there was always one available when I needed. The kitchen was equipped and had fruits and snacks available to share. The house is really quiet and Cha-cha is a very sweet dog. I felt right at home and can't wait to come back.
