I definitely recommend staying here! The home is welcoming - the co-hosts Rick & his wife, even moreso! I was looking forward to meeting Yumi & Gen, but didn't know in advance that they wouldn't be there. It was a surprise & a bit concerning when, while I was waiting for my flight to take off on the day of my check-in, I was informed - since I am a woman & was traveling & staying alone. Rick was reassuring, & when I met the two, my apprehension melted away. They are so considerate, friendly, understanding, & very helpful! The 2nd bedroom is right next to yours, & it can be rented out to another guest. I wasn't aware 2 men would be staying at the same time, but they ended up being very pleasant thankfully. Your room can lock with a key! I recommend bringing water bottles, & the bathroom isn't super close to your room - it's thru the common area, down the hallway. The pleace is peaceful, beautiful, & quite close to the ocean, restaurants (incl coffee & sushi) , activities, & shops!
