Doug's home is just as lovely as the pictures - clean, comfortable, and the bark yard is gorgeous. We were minutes away from Manhatten beach and found parking easily to walk around there. The restaurant recommended by Doug, El Amigo, was just minutes away and absolutely delicious - a true hidden gem on Manhatten Blvd. Doug was excellent with communicating with me and was overall a great host. We were staying just so we'd be close for my flight out of LAX in the morning, but we will definitely be back just for a fun trip too. Thanks Doug!
