I really enjoyed my stay with Akiko. Akiko was very welcoming and went out of her way to made me feel comfortable by doing things like asking me if I'd eaten (I'm a teenager). She was open to conversation pretty much anytime she was home. At the same time she gave me enough space and privacy. The whole vibe and atmosphere in her house is great. Although I didn't get the room that I reserved (bc other guest had animal) the room I got (same price) turned out to be even better. Also you can hang out and watch tv in her living room which is something I wasn't really expecting. The neighborhood is nice nad quiet. It truly is safe to walk anytime of the day like the listing says. I honestly can't think of anything negative to say and although at first I was annoyed that the room that I got didn't have a real door it ended up being better because of it was sort of on its own side of the house and right next to an exit/entrance that none of the other people in the house used. I got my moneys worth for sure.
