Akiko is the best! Such a warm, thoughtful, and kindhearted host. I stayed with Akiko for over a month as I got my bearings in LA. Never shy to share a meal, Akiko makes you feel right at home. The room is spacious with a dresser, desk, and night stand. I had direct access to the backyard, which was a wonderful spot to catch some sun. Akiko provides ample towels and the shower is really nice. Her home, much like her heart, is quite warm. If you are looking for a great spot for a long stay, look no further than here.
