Where should I start…Although this was my first Airbnb, I’m sure I won’t find a better one. Staying with Akiko was like staying with a host family and I dearly miss her already.
She’s really taking care of her guests, you can ask her anything anytime and she’ll be happy to help you. You can tell she really enjoys having guests. I loved our conversations. Akiko is a really kind soul. Also I would basically never leave the house hungry. She would always have some food to share.
The house is cozy, always clean and safe. It’s located close to SMC and only a few minutes by car to the beach or SM Downtown. You can also take the bus which is only $1.25 or walk which takes about 30 minutes. It’s quite hilly though and might be challenging to walk everyday.
Street parking is only allowed with a permit but there is always a solution for parking your car.
You can lock the room door if you like. There are also other guests in the house but it never gets busy or loud since everyone has their own plans and will be gone for the day. There are also two bathrooms so there is no line in the morning. You can hear a lot around your room in and around the house which didn’t bother me at all because it wasn’t noisy. But you should be aware that you’re not alone and sometimes hear other people.
The neighborhood is safe and quiet and you don’t hear too much from Pico Blvd.
The room is bigger than it looks on the photos. It has a closet and plenty of space for your belongings. Oh and the bed…I LOVED the bed.
I felt very comfortable and I’m happy that I met Akiko. She’s a wonderful person and I’m definitely coming back.
Thanks for having me, Akiko! All the best for you!
