We have visited Suzanne's place multiple times because we love it so much. It is a great location with the bay beach literally across the 2-lane street and during the summers they don't allow traffic between 9-5 so it is quite and safe. Lots of bicycles, skateboards, and people in the water and on the beach.
Her place is perfect for either a couple or small family. Kitchen is totally stocked with anything you want to cook (note that there is no microwave). A separate shower, as well as a bath w/shower so convenient when two people are getting ready.
We never move our car once we park, since there are so many restaurants, coffee shops, dessert places and shopping. You do have to be careful about the street sweepers on Thursday and Friday mornings. You WILL get a ticket!
If you are an ocean person, the ocean and beach is only 3 blocks away, as well as the boardwalk and strand that runs all along the ocean up to Redondo Beach. You can rent bikes less than a block away from the place if you don't want to haul your own.
