Charlene was a great host and we loved our 3 night stay there. The location is superb--close to restaurants, just steps to the beach, and about 1.7 miles to the Manhattan Beach Pier. The apartment was decorated very nicely and she even had an inversion table we could use. Plus, a fridge stocked full of drinks, that was a great touch. Full kitchen is nice too, but we didn't do any cooking! The TV with Netflix was also a great way to wind down the evenings.

Bikes, boogie boards and other beach gear are provided to borrow, too.

Being from Texas, we usually have AC, but with opening the windows at night the temperature was perfect! All in all, felt like a home away from home, but with a comfier mattress (memory foam) and a killer location!

I would love to go back and recommend it to anyone, even if you want to explore L.A. attractions that aren't along the coast--there is a parking spot in the garage if you have a car!

Also--it is close to the airport so that was really nice being able to get there in 10-15 minutes in a lyft for a great price.
