Tessie was an extremely kind, considerate, and accommodating host. As a person who was looking for a few place to stay for a handful of days before moving into my apartment (what with me being a new Los Angeles transplant and all), I'm extremely grateful that she let me check late in the evening and on short notice after a long day finding an AirBnB after my previous booking had to be canceled for reasons outside of everyone's control.

The house itself is around a 45 minute walk to the Manhattan Beach's pier, and a very short drive. There's also a Denny's and a Rite Aid a mere ten minute walk down the street. The neighborhood itself is strikingly safe and walkable.

The room itself is quite nice, comfortably sized with a nice and cozy bed. The house is near a slightly busy street, but what noise pollution there is, and there isn't much, dies down at night. I never had a problem falling asleep. The bathroom was in working order, and the high speed internet's no joke. Seriously fast stuff, folks.

Parking was in the street, but don't fret about that. I never had a problem finding a spot. Each night, I'd estimate that there were room for some six or seven vehicles reasonably close to Tessie's house. And keep in mind, I would often return late after starting a job with hours that ran long into the night.

Now, I did see another review for Tessie's place mention something about there being other people at the house, Tessie's room/house-mates and feeling spooked about that. Don't feel spooked. It's fine. They're fine. I met them. They struck me as decent people.

With that out of the way, all I have left to say is staying at Tessie's listing was a very, very nice experience. I hope I don't have to stay there again but only because I'm trying to call the Los Angeles area home now, but you, mister or miss Prospective AirBnB Guest, I hope you do.
