This airbnb is perfect and I wouldn’t change anything about it. I’ll start from the host who’s extremely helpful. I mixed up the timing on my trans-pacific flights and needed to drop off my bags well before checkin. Hideki was helpful and accommodating in making that happen. I dropped off my bags while the cleaner was still cleaning the apartment and she was just the nicest person ever :D
The apartment itself is perfect. The water pressure and hot water are great. The internet is crazy fast (200mbs down / 100mbs up). There’s laundry on the same floor and a trash chute. There’s a staggering amount of clean towels. There’s a bunch of amenities in the building like a small mini-market and one of the best coffee shops I’ve seen in months (they have cold brew! And they bake their own lemon pies! And they have a printer!).
The location is unbeatable. I wake up before sunrise every day just to be able to watch it from the 30th floor. After sunrise I walk the one block over to the ocean for a morning bodysurfing / swim. Then around sunset I go back to the same beach to watch the most spectacular sunsets. There’s amazing unbelievable food walking distance nearby.
Honestly, this place is just perfect. Great apartment, great location, great hosts, great food nearby, great price. It’s truly rare to find airbnbs this perfect. If you can, book it.
