Akiko's place was a great stay from start to finish. She was very prompt with communication and was very flexible with check-in. Her house is situated in a calm and quiet neighborhood and had plenty of space for parking; all other necessities were available as well, I didn't really need to visit the grocery store for snacks or toiletries. There were no issues with sharing common areas with the other guests who were there. Her dog Chacha was there also and was playful but well-behaved. Overall, I would stay at Akiko's home again if I revisited the area!
