Akiko is very generous host. I came in early to drop off my luggage as communicated to her beforehand, but when I arrived she asked me to wait for short while then let me checked in early! She was very kind to let all of guests to use her kitchen and made the kitchen table always available for her guests. Plenty of towels, fruits and water are provided. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bed linens were very fresh. She was so lovely and warm to send me off by watching me until I got into a cab. I also enjoyed chit chat with her. Thank you!
