There is a very comfortable bed, and you don't have to walk through the hosts space. There is also a deck that can be utilized. It is a short walk to the bay, which is very scenic. The ocean is a 40 minute walk, though Franz does provide bikes, and you can watch the surfers. One needs to be careful of the step that is inside the unit between the bedroom and bathroom/kitchenette; and there currently is no place to put clothes.
