My stay with Janet in Manhattan Beach was for six months and I enjoyed every minute of it. Janet is very gracious, kind, generous, and knowledgable. She would leave me 'treats' e.g. homemade apple crisp along with a cheery note to start my day. She lives in a very friendly neighborhood full of people out walking their dogs, children playing ball in the street, and even a lemonade stand. One of Janet's very kind neighbors helped me out when I locked my keys in my car. The location of her house is ideal for everything fun in Manhattan Beach. The greenway aka chip path is a block and a half away which leads you to shopping/restaurants to the east and Manhattan Beach village and the pier as well as further destinations south. There's also Sand Dune Park with its cardio-challenging staircases which is another fun way to get to the beach. This place is awesome!
