We had such an amazing experience with Akiko for our first airbnb experience! She welcomes such a warm, welcoming home.. she is very down to earth! A great place to stay, clean, organized, and cozy. Great place to have a relaxing vacation. She is very good with communication and getting back to you. I highly recommend staying here if you plan to visit Santa Monica.. We had no problems at all, this was by far a 5 star stay.. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! Best wishes to you!
