Nina is a great host and very responsive. Her space is quiet and has everything needed for your stay, tho you do need to bring toiletries and there are no pantry items other than coffee pods, tea and coffeemate. I happened to be there during a very unusual hot spell - very rare in Marina del Rey - so it did get a bit warm inside during the day. But the patio is shaded and cool. Nina has bikes to use [just need to arrange it with her directly even tho the visitor binder says to use a code to the garage] which made for nice trips up the beach bike path. Parking can be a bit hard to find, but at least no stickers are required and there are no time limits. Since everything is within walking distance, no need to move the car once you get it parked. Her place is just blocks from the less crowded part of the beach, and it's great to take long walks down by the water. I would definitely try to stay again next time I am visiting family in LA.
