This was my first time staying in a room in a house, and it was a WONDERFUL experience! Rita communicated quickly and clearly, and was flexible when my arrival time got pushed back several hours. When I arrived, she had put together a list of recommendations for local spots for me! I loved enjoying the fresh air on the balcony, and relaxed in the large tub after long days. Great area to access Manhattan Beach, and I even took a day trip to Santa Cruz Island! Highly recommend.
