This is a great place to stay, totally well suited to someone like myself that was on a 24 hour layover on an international flight schedule. Steve's place is located 15 minutes drive from the airport, I got an Uber ride there for $11 as I don't drive. Steve was able to welcome and greet me upon arrival, and provided lots of useful information about the lcoal area including a whole drawer full of pre-prepared maps with directions to nearby amenities and local information magazines. Most places like the beach, the nearest convenience store (7-Eleven) and the Main Street of El Segundo are about a 15 minute walk if you don't drive, so a car or Uber rides may be a necessity for those that are not able or don't wish to walk such distance, but is otherwise fine for someone like myself who walks quite a lot! The neighbourhood itself came across as very quiet, pleasant, well to do and safe. The apartment is near power lines which can be heard buzzing if you leave your door open to let the air in, but the pleasant sea air coming across from the directly adjacent beach area (not directly accessible) makes up for this if you do decide to leave your door open for air circulation. An ideal place to stay for the weary traveller, someone on a business trip or for leisure whether you're spending time at the beach surfing or basing yourself here for travel to other nearby attractions in the LA area. A better choice than a standard airport hotel room as you are not stuck at the airport terminal buildings. The bed is very comfortable. There is no air con, but the ceiling fan seemed to suffice for the time of year that I was staying there, and I noticed that there was a portable fan heater also provided for the winter months. Thanks Steve, I'd choose to stay here again if I'm in the area again or on another layover at LAX.
