Yet another great stay at Akiko's house. The house is located in a safe and quiet neighborhood in Santa Monica, also with easy access to bus downtown and train into Los Angeles. The room is cosy, clean and very comfortable and Akiko provides coffee, pastries, fruit and water every day. Her dog Cha Cha is so sweet and calm and easy going. Bathrooms are nice with amenities and towels. I really enjoy staying here every time I'm in the Los Angeles area and can highly recommend it.
