As a solo business traveler, I loved Nicole’s beachside bungalow! The location could not be more perfect as you are steps from the beach (you can hear the waves crashing with the windows open). It’s close to Manhattan Beach, but a tad north from the riff raff in a little surfers paradise called El Porto (so very quiet). Cute restaurants cafés and Shops walking distance in El Porto. I went for a run on “the strand” to the Manhattan Beach pier every day.
The space itself is located on the bottom floor of a two-story house with its own side entrance and a private back patio. There’s no building directly behind, so you get a lot of natural light coming through the windows. It is small and would be good for maybe a couple or single travelers but again, as it was just myself, it was perfect. One of the biggest bonuses (as everyone in the Southbay will tell you) is that it comes with its own dedicated parking spot. That huge! Nicole is a great host - I will definitely be back!
