Akemi's place is great value for the price. Very conveniently located near 145th St station, the apartment is cozy with a big heart room. On top, Akemi is a great host, who responds quickly to messages and is very friendly and warm. She offered tips on restaurants and other useful things. Definitely recommend this place. Only caveat is that the apartment is on the 5th floor and there is no elevator. So beware if you have lots of heavy stuff to carry around.
