Bill’s place is a great, well-furnished studio with a nice view overlooking the ocean. The studio is next to an old Japanese cemetery and there’s a house with a number of roosters just down the road, so you’ll have both quiet and noisy neighbors! The roosters crow for large stretches of the day, including early in the morning, but they quieted down around dusk each day, which made for peaceful sunsets. Bill is a very accommodating host, allowing us to borrow beach gear and do laundry. The studio is a nice little spot and Bill provides lots of earplugs, but you might consider choosing a bit quieter place if you’re sensitive to farm noise.
