Found Akiko's place when I was doing my research on where to stay near LA due to price, location and driveway/street parking. Her response to my inquiry/questions was quick. After driving 4+hrs all I wanted was to sleep. I booked her private room with adequate bedroom space and a comfy bed. She provided water, fruits, towels in the room and an extra blanket as a concern that my daughter might get cold at night. Other than the thin walls, which was no problem for me, Akiko was very accommodating and a gracious host.
