Akiko was a wonderful hostess! Her home is located in a nice neighborhood in Santa Monica, close to the beach and shopping. The room was warm and inviting and there was a nice driveway for parking. Akiko had fruit and bottled water waiting for us and extra towels and toiletries if needed. My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. And if you are a dog lover, her dog Cha Cha is the sweetest thing. We couldn't stop rubbing her belly!

Thank you Akiko!
