My sisters and I loved the two nights we spent at Akiko and Matt's place! Our hosts were wonderful and accommodating and everything about the apartment was top-notch. My sisters raved about the comfort of the bed and I got a good night's sleep on the couch. The towels were thick and soft and the sheets were wonderfully fresh-smelling and comfortable. The toiletries provided far exceeded expectations. The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of appliances, dishes, utensils, coffee, and tea. Akiko was more than happy to let us use her washer and dryer, but we were so busy touring Seattle that we decided to make do with the clothes we had. The location was convenient to the city yet away from the noise and hubbub. We would stay at Matt and Akiko's place again without a moment's hesitation!
