I didn't realize how much I needed this trip until I stepped into Akikos amazing, very zen, very beautiful home. Akiko has beautiful energy. She is so kind and attentive to details. One of the best things I loved about my stay, is that I received a key for my room and the front door, and like a faerie godmother Akiko attended to small details without even being seen. She provided Kangen water, fresh fruit, continental breakfast items, access to her kitchen and everything. Now, let me tell you about the bed: IT IS LIKE SLEEPING ON A CLOUD. And this area , Santa Monica is ideal. IDEAL. It is quiet, the neighbors are friendly, and you can walk to the pier and beach. I walked to the beach every day that I was there and didn't feel unsafe. Please stay here, if you want to have a great time in Los Angeles. Akiko is amazing, her house is an oasis in chaos, and Santa Monica is a beautiful and friendly place to be. Yes, of course it was SUPER CLEAN.
