Franz was a great host, the place is a great location if you're looking to be close to Garnett, trader Joes, cvs close by, a number of yoga studios. I used one of the bikes which made it super easy to get around. The beach is about 12 blocks from the beach so I would recommend using a bike, but walking is fine too. Also, the bus runs on Grand and will also take you right up. The weather while I was there was off otherwise walking would be just fine. Accommodation wise, Franz made it a really good, clean, comfortable experience.
