Brian was an outstanding host. He made us feel very welcome. The place was clean and was accurately represented by the pictures. He had some cold beer in the fridge for us to cheers our arrival. The kitchenette is tiny, but it really has everything you need. The location could not be better -- step out the front door and turn the corner and there is all of the gorgeousness of Hermosa/Manhattan Beach. There is plenty of closet space, plenty of towels, the TV has a ton of movie stations and he provides wifi. You'll need the wifi since the home is in a cellular "dead zone" and no carrier seems to get service -- nothing the home owner could do about that. It's quaint, clean, comfortable and fun. Brian provided bikes for us, which we used liberally to get around town AND allowed us to park our rental car in the driveway so we didn't have to worry about parking. For what we needed, it was ideal.
