We actually didn't meet Mark or Yoshiko, but we were taken care by people working and volunteering there, and they all were very nice and helpful. This place is relaxing and in a perfect location (very close to the beach, Pacific Hotel, as well as shops, markets and restaurants), walking distance to everywhere in town, it is actually a motel that used to be a workers accomodation. It is very clean. Kitchen could have more hot plates, soup plates and pans since, because they are limited when there are many guests.
