Akiko is the consummate host! No matter what you need, just let her know and she will accommodate! I’ve had several stays so far and in between stays she’s even let me leave my big suitcase there so I don’t have to carry it around with me. She has made some awesome soups and there’s always something to eat for her guests in the morning! Bagels, hard boiled eggs, coffee and tea are always available, and there’s little candies, fruit and the best water. You will love staying here.
