TLDR: Alex was the most wonderful host! Incredibly nice and responsive - I had a fantastic stay and highly recommend booking here. Her mom was also the sweetest lady and her dog was adorable and well-behaved.
- I was really touched when one night there was a storm and it got pretty cold. Alex reached out and asked if I’d like a radiator heater which was so thoughtful, given there was already an extra blanket in the closet.
- The unit itself is on the second floor and does not have an elevator but the stairs are a short flight. It is also very secure with locked entrances, a security guard and cameras in the parking lot.
- What I loved most about the room was the view outside with the swaying trees while I worked from "home." It was surprisingly quiet and serene for a large complex, and the landscaping is lush and beautiful.
- The internet speed was also good (200mbps+) which was helpful for work. The closet is spacious. The bathroom was clean, the tub looked new, and the shower had nice hot water pressure.
- The location is amazing as it is close to all major stores within a few miles and sits right between Manhattan Beach and Gardena so you get both the beach and diverse food options within a short drive. The sunsets even at the AirBnB location are gorgeous.
- If you have an electric car like I do, they have chargers inside the garage (EverCharge). I’d recommend talking to Alex at least a few weeks beforehand since you have to fill out an application to EverCharge and it takes another 10 business days after that to process, so give yourself plenty of time beforehand.
- In short, book your stay now as this place goes fast! It is truly a bargain for what you get and you won't find a better host!
