The listing was very accurate. The location was fantastic, only a couple blocks away from the promenade and the ocean. Your private room is kept extremely tidy with your own bathroom attached. Your host will not know much English, but it's hardly an issue as she's so hospitable. The only issue is you would have to park your car a block or two away...moderate inconvenience at worst because Tomoko has you unload your bags in the alley by them first.
