Akiko’s home was in a great location to Santa Monica & SM College and public transit every place. She let me park my car in her driveway- nice perk. There are 4 rental rooms and 2 bathrooms. No problem using a bathroom but the hotter shower has the bathtub! Akiko is a gracious host who lives onsite. She left water and fruit. Showers have body soap. Her dog Chacha is very playful & friendly. Walls are paper thin but for the price, I’ll be back! It’s kind of like your grandmas home with guests. Inexpensive rental and super friendly host! Fantastic location on 18Th St in Santa Monica! 18 blocks to the beach!
