I had an excellent stay at Carrie's place and will definitely return when I'm back in LA. The place was clean, comfortable and lovely. Extremely safe/peaceful neighborhood and very easy to get to LAX. Quick walk to downtown El Segundo with lots of shops/restaurants and not far from the beach at all (max 10 min walk). Taking out a bike to ride around the beaches and returning to get into the hot tub was an added bonus! Carrie also provided butter, spices and other cooking items. Only a few extremely minor cons: 1) While not located right beside LAX, you can still hear some noise from planes taking off. It wasn't super loud but something to keep in mind if you're an extremely light sleeper and don't use earplugs. 2) The backdoor facing the alley doesn't have a window cover. For privacy, I hung a sheet around the door. 3) The desk area doesn't have a 3 prong plug, so I needed to charge my laptop in the living room.
Overall, fantastic stay and I can't wait to return. Thanks Carrie!
