Dana's place is fantastic! Easy walk to the downtown area, very safe neighborhood and very spacious. Her air bnb is very close to the airport...you will absolutely hear the planes, but it never bothered us. She does provide ear plugs if you happen to need them, but it just turns into white noise. While not right next to the beach (and she doesn't say it is), it's a few blocks and with the beautiful weather, it's a beautiful walk. I would absolutely stay here again if I'm ever in the LA area again.
