Laurie and Curt have a great location for visiting the South Bay area of LA County. If you like the beaches, this is the place to stay because they know the beach scene. It is a quiet neighborhood and Laurie and Curt's house is clean and charmingly decorated. The bedroom has a private bathroom next door and it is a sparkling clean bathroom with a large shower. The bedroom itself is spacious and comfortable. Coffee and a cookie are provided in the morning and I purchased fruit and yogurt which they graciously allowed me to store in the refrigerator. It felt as though I would be welcome to use the kitchen if I chose. The small patio out back was a welcoming spot to enjoy the coffee or check email or just enjoy the view. If I used one word to summarize the experience it would be "welcoming".
