STOP! Look no further and stay here! Akiko is a kind, thoughtful and gracious host. Just ask and she can help with anything. Here are some of the things she did for me: (1) I had a "laundry emergency" and she let me do my wash, (2) gave me an ironing board and iron to use, (3) fixed the most wonderful soup and shared with me, (4) left the driveway for me to park in when I arrived late, (5) was very welcoming for me and my dog after a long day of moving, AND (6) she helped me move my things in AND (7) allowed me to leave my heavy suitcase there between stays. I can't recommend staying here enough. Thank you, Akiko and Cha Cha (her sweet dog). Already booked another stay! Also, I need to mention that I normally don't stay where there isn't a private bathroom but her 2 shared baths are constantly cleaned and it was actually just perfect. So no need to worry about that - you can book any room in her home and be completely comfortable and cared for. Finally, her home has a very high quality air filtration system and her water is "Kanga water"! This was really important to me as I am healing from an illness. Staying here is like a wellness retreat so if it's available, book now! You won't be disappointed.
