This house is amazing. My girlfriend and I stayed here with our families for her graduation from USC, and compared to getting 3 hotel rooms it was about half the price and twice as enjoyable. The house was very well kept and clearly professionally cleaned. Self check in with the keypad on the front door was a breeze and felt very secure, and we were pleasantly surprised to discover that there was a very enclosed nice back yard. The area is nice, close to the beach, and there is a grocery store and a nice bar with access to a hotel pool deck right around the corner (about a 10 minute walk). Helene was friendly and responsive to questions, and she made us feel very welcome in her home. Solid 5 stars out of 5
