Great stay for a few days back in LA. In full disclosure, we're biased. We love the El Porto section of Manhattan Beach. If you're familiar with El Segundo and El Porto, the proximity the public waterworks, refinery, etc...will be totally comfortable. We recently moved from the area to the East Coast, so it was a great spot to post up during our trip back "home." The unit is cute, and packed with all of the necessary amenities for a good stay. It's an older building that has been converted in to multiple apartment/condo units...BUT very cute, comfortable, and well appointed. The Space has definitely been remodeled to maximize it all, and with myself in two teen daughters staying for 3 days, we were quite cozy and at ease. It's a quick walk down the hill to the beach, or to a number of great beachside restaurants, bars, coffee shops etc. Overall, we had a blast and would stay there again.
