First I would like to start off by saying teshi is a very nice, welcoming host. Now to get on to the brass tacks, if it's not 100% clear (which it was not to us) the space is shared with the owner of the property. You must message him in advance so he can basically let you into his apartment, from there he mentions one of his house rules being that he does not allow shoes inside of the apartment, which is not an issue but should have been disclosed in the listing. From there you move into your "private room" again the listing is not very clear that you will be sharing space with some random, where you will find another list of house rules. Examples: no eating in the room, so you have to go eat in the "common area" which he states matter of factly that his space is his own (couch/living room area, half of the beach view balcony) no alcohol, no smoking, which again fair enough, not mentioned in listing. Now onto the actual room/bathroom. There were ants everywhere, crawling all over our belongings especially in the bathroom. The shower head pressure was absolutely horrible in that shower, it felt like you were getting sprayed down with a hose which you basically could have been because the water got cold in under 10 minutes. If this had intended to be a vacation of relaxation I would have been highly upset, being that me and my husband only slept and showered there made it bearable. The window by the bed is right beneath the walkway so you can hear everyone and everything as ppl walk by. And finally there is no lock or key for the bedroom so you can have to just trust that no one will go in the room or through your belongings. also the balcony is next to the freeway, so if you intend to hear the waves crashing against the sand, it's not going to happen. ENJOY
