Akiko's place was absolutely wonderful and just what my friend and I needed for our trip to LA! She was very nice and accommodating with all of our needs. The bedroom and bathrooms were very clean and very well stocked with all the necessities. The place is in a nice quiet neighborhood and very walkable to Santa Monica Pier. There's also a bus stop at the end of the street that is very easy and useful to use. Definitely recommend this place!
