Takasan and Mimi were excellent hosts. They provided plenty of towels and accommodations. They are easy to communicate with and make access to your floor easy. I appreciated that they had coffee there for me to prepare each day. I stayed alone but the size is great for a family of four or five. There home is in a relaxing location in the hills of the North Shore. It is a very quiet neighborhood. Also, at the bottom of the hill is a Foodland to buy food or anything you may need each day. You will immediately see Sharks Cove and other nearby beaches as you descend the hill each day. I believe it is a great central location to stay on the North Shore. You will be close enough to the beaches, attractions, market, and far away enough from the traffic.
