Akiko's house is very neat and beautiful. I felt I was staying at a hotel. She prepared a variety of wash products, plenty of clean towel. Also she provided us with welcoming fruits and water. Her dog chacha is so gentle and friendly. Her house is around a minute away from Santa Monica College, which is a beautiful college you should visit. Akiko is a nice host and most of all she respects guests' privacy. You'll feel very comfortable and safe. I highly recommend this place!
