Akiko was very kind and welcoming. The room and bed was exactly how she described it on the listing. It was nice to meet the other guests on the first night. We had our own mini Airbnb party that night exploring the Santa Monica beach and pier area. Hopefully, we didn't disturb Akiko or the other guests too much by coming back to the room so late every night... This is my first Airbnb experience, and I'm very impressed with it. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stay at Akiko's house again.
