Akiko's place is really well and recently remodeled. We loved the kitchen setup for cooking / baking while we stayed for a month. We worked from home and were able to do an easy downstairs / upstairs setup at this house. Wifi was also great for 3 of us working at times (no drops, video calls successful). The secondary downstairs bed is more of a pad, it's not a mattress, and that caused some trouble with us / guest who can't do that firm of a surface for adults (it seems that was setup for children originally, which is probably fine when you're of lighter weight.) Akiko was very accommodating and responsive, and the spot is easy access to the highway / Safeway for shopping (although the Safeway in the area isn't particularly high end.) We loved our month in Seattle and a lot of it had to do with such a great home base!
