First of all, I couldn't ask for a better host to deal with. Darci was wonderful in communication and response. The studio was perfect, below the hosts' home so there will be normal noises from above. The kitchen was better than we expected, both the bed and couch were very comfortable. There were soft towels for the bathroom, and what set this apart from all the others was the use of beach towels and chairs, bicycles and umbrellas, outside shower to rinse off from the beach, which was sooooo close. We walked, biked, swam, sunned, used the parking pass which I recommend, and ate our way through our stay at many of the close restaurants at both the Hermosa and Manhattan Beach locations. We used their portable revolving air machine during our stay (mid-August) and were very comfortable. I am giving high marks for this airbnb and we are planning to return next summer!
