Akiko's place is very nice and easy to stay at, although all rooms were rented, it was very quiet and comfortable. The room was nice and clean, so was the bathroom. We didn't use the kitchen.
Akiko was very helpful with parking the car.
We didn't have the chance to chat much to her but felt welcome at her place.
We recommend the place, especially if you come to SM by car - easy parking and short ways within the city.
