We stayed in Guy's house for 5 nights as a base to explore LA and the area. We found it easy to drive from the property to LA, Universal, Getty, Angels baseball and the beaches. It is a sensible base for the area we think. The walk along the sea front to the centre of Manhattan Beach is great and you can hire surf boards etc at the beach 5 minutes walk away.
The property was clean and well equipt and true to the photos. We arrived later than we said (the hire car pick up at LAX was a nightmare hour plus wait!) but Debra handled our late arrival on a Saturday night with good grace and kindness.
We had problems with the garage door during our stay (entirely our incompetence!) and Debra and Guy were very supportive and always attentive by email. They are exemplary hosts.
We heartily recommend the property. It is a great location, spacious for us 5, and well maintained.
Many thanks Guy and Debra for being so brilliant as hosts! It was a pleasure meeting you.
