Akiko was the consummate host. There's a reason she's a Superhost. Her "Guest Retreat" was the perfect place to stay and from which to work from or just relax when having meetings in town. She's one of the few who provides breakfast, and every amenity imaginable from cable to shampoo to beach towels for the beach! More than anything, her presence and personal attention was what made the place. She was so available to helping out when I needed - beyond the call of duty. Thank you Akiko and I look forward to staying with you again when I return to Santa Monica.
