We enjoyed a lot our stay at Shoko's place. The room was big and bright, and it was really useful for us, that we had a desk in it too. But you can also use the common areas, where you still have a lot of place to have a meal or work on your laptop.
Shoko is a great host, she was very welcoming and helpful.
We liked the area also, there was a Wholesome market a few steps away and a nice coffee shop called Tugboat Tea Company.
