Tom's place is a wonderful private flat on the bottom half of his house. You can walk in undisturbed at anytime, and have plenty of space to work and spread out or lounge. I loved being able to step out onto the private outdoor patio area in the mornings. He had surfboards and scuba gear for me to borrow no charge. He let me do laundry for $3 just to cover electric cost. And the kitchenette had everything I needed to make breakfast and lunch each day. One small gripe with the wifi; I need pretty fast wifi for work, and it was somewhere between 15-25 mbps. Otherwise, I loved it! Would go back.
