Akiko and ChaCha were great host! We enjoyed very much being in her house, a very good positive vibe, nice treats bananas, coffee, water etc. and very great location, very easy to reach Santa Monica beach. The neighbourhood is very quiet, we got a parking license for all days we spent there on behalf of Akiko, so no worries with the parking lot. Thanks for having us Akiko! Beware, Chacha enjoys playing with my shoes, so i had a lot of fun chasing her down in the garden, around the palm tree, and only way to make her drop the shoe was to tease her with some Cheetos :))
