Staying at Aki's home was a pleasant and painless experience.He was very communicative, made the house rules known, and gave us a the whole two lower layers of the house to ourselves. Private half bath, laundry, mini fridge, 2 bedrooms, and a sitting room with a big ol' TV and karaoke machine. When we arrived they had some fruit and a basket of snacks and drinks for us and even went so far as to provide eggs, bread, and fresh berries in the morning. We only stayed for one night but had no troubles. Except for maybe Kumo, their dog, who loves to bark at pretty much everyone and hates to be touched. Which is a shame because, boy, is Kumo a cute puppy.
