Tomoko's place is really conveniently located - within walking distance to beaches, the Santa Monica Pier, shopping and restaurants. Having a gated, designated parking spot was valuable as we drove our own car. Being able to access it (or not) and parking was one thing we didn't have to worry about. The apartment is clean and comfortable, with lots of amenities (cable TV, wi-fi, microwave, full kitchen with utensils, A/C, etc.). Tomoko provided everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We would stay here again for sure!
