Tomoko’s place is a quick walk to Santa Monica Blvd and to the 3rd St Promenade. It is in a quiet building. There is parking on the street if you have a car.
You have your own private room and bathroom inside an apartment with somebody else living there. I only saw somebody on the day I checked in and one other time while leaving in the morning. You also have access to the kitchen and a balcony area. It’s a nice building in a well lit area.
The room is small but big enough for two people to say. There is a bed, couch and TV. There is a refrigerator there did I didn’t use and a place to hang clothes.
I would go back if I am in Santa Monica again.
