Tom's place is in a convenient area in ocean Beach! Alot of bars and food nearby, and parking wasn't too terrible. The cottage is actually closer to dog beach, so there is alot of dogs/cats around. The place is just as described - expect there is no available drinking water (so bring your own). They provide a fan in the room which helps but it does get pretty hot. The place is clean! The only cleaniness issue I had was the curtains smell like the beach - and makes the room smell like the beach. The shower is great too! The hosts also have great communication.
