Akiko made me feel so welcome in her home. Though I had a private entrance through the back to my room, the bathroom and kitchen were accessible by walking through her room, which was fine. I stayed there for four nights and needed to add a fifth, which I was happily able to do. The bed was very comfortable and everything was neat and clean. The bedding was quite comfortable and nice as well. I hope to stay here again next time I need to be in town for extended work.
