Our stay at Tomoko's was very nice. Her parents checked us in and were very accommodating with early luggage dropoff. The location was wonderful, with 3rd Street Promenade, Pallisades Park, and lots of places to eat within walking distance. There is also a nearby laundromat, but our hosts were so lovely and helpful that they did ours for us, ensuring we could make the most of our time visiting. The neighborhood was quiet and the apartment was clean. If given the chance, I'd stay with them again.
