Akiko is nice and kind. We arrived late but Akiko waited and walcomed us. She also provide useful information of Santa Monica and neighborhood, such as where to eat or directions. Her dog Cha-cha is also cute and friendly! We enjoy the time in living room with Cha-cha around us.
The room is obsolutely same as in photo, clean and comfortable. Water, fruit and snack are free in kitchen.
The neighborhood is safe and quiet. There's bus stop in 3-5 minute walk. Santa Monica beach and 3rd Street are also near via bus or 30-35 minute on foot. Public transportation is convinent by either bus or metro (the further is in a short distance away). There's a Walgreens In few streets away. Love the location And neighborhood.
