This listing is a gem in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Akiko is a lovely and gracious hostess.

This was my first experience as an AirBnb guest. Akiko made me feel absolutely welcome. She was patient and gracious when I had to arrive at midnight because my plane arrived late and then I had to waste more time looking for the house in the middle of the night.

Akiko makes delicious coffee for her guests every morning and allows us to use her kitchen to make tea, and leaves out a basket of fruit and some cake and welcomed me with fruit on a plate in my room. She also has a nice patio where I could sit.

The other guests were all quite friendly and even tolerated me after I woke them up my mistake my first night after setting my alarm to 6am without remembering to set my clock to the local time zone (it went off at 3am!).

Akiko's dog Cha-Cha is very friendly, but he mostly likes to sleep.
