My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Helene's. She communicated very well about our stay before hand, was incredibly friendly and welcoming (along with Brandie) and made us feel at home. She has lived in Los Angeles for while so not only was she helpful navigating the immediate neighborhood but had good advice about getting around the entire city as well. The bed was very comfortable and the description of the room is accurate. Helene let us know when we requested to book that it might be a bit tight for two people but we didn't mind. The location is amazing, about 3-4 blocks to the beach and another 4-5 to the pier, you can't beat it. We look forward to staying there again next year for the Manhattan Beach Open. This was our first AirBNB experience and we are crossing our fingers that other's will go this well. I definitely highly recommend this place.
