Akiko is amazing she is the best host I have had so far. She had everything ready and everything was super clean and top notch. She even made coffee in the morning which was pretty cool and nice of her to do. The only criticism I have does not come due to Akiko, but is related to the property. The bed collapses in a bit which made it a bit challenging to sleep and because it’s in Santa Monica where most buildings are older, there isn’t much insulation keeping noise out of the room. That being said, as a whole I would recommend Akiko highly and I had a great stay!
