Jill was a fantastic host, and the guest house was exactly what I was looking for. The location in the tree section is great if you want to be in a residential neighbourhood but still walkable to beach and downtown. Jill made sure I felt at home from the word go, and gave many recommendations of where to go and what to do. The guest house has all the touches to make for a very enjoyable stay. Manhattan Beach gives you that perfect blend of beach city relaxation, but has Los Angeles well within reach. With not many hotels servicing this area, the guest house is a great option for those wanting a more homely experience in a very friendly town. The property had modern and high quality finishes, and was very light and airy. Not all properties in the area have been as well remodeled, and so it felt hotel quality. I was sad to leave, but will recommend to friends for sure.
