I stayed for 5 nights at Akiko’s place. Unfortunately I didn’t get to cross paths with Akiko much but she welcomed me upon check in. She was very lovely and offered some great tips of places to go. The space was very cute and in a great location ~5-8min walk to the nearest subway station and a short ride to Manhattan. Place was also walking distance to heaps of food and bars! Would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for something affordable but still close to Manhattan.
