Akiko was an ideal AirBNB Host. She responded to my request right away, and was communicative the entire time between booking and trip. She was very responsive to our needs-she allowed us to stow our luggage before we could officially check in, so we could be off sightseeing in the one of our only two full days in Seattle. She lent me an umbrella because it was raining! The place is just as pictured, quaint and roomy and equipped with everything you might need. It was just a pleasure. I'd stay there again and again, and highly recommend her.
