Our stay in Manhattan Beach was incredible. Andrea's house is in the perfect location!!! Close to the airport and literally a minutes walk from the beach & the Strand. We used the bikes provided to ride to the pier & Hermosa often. You can get by without a car. Walking, biking, public transit, or uber are really easy around there. But if you have a car, downtown is accessible as well. The driveway is tandem parking so a smaller vehicle is best. We never had any major issues though. The apartment is very cute, comfortable & had everything we needed (we stayed for 3 months) Andrea was very responsive & easy to get in touch with. The local property managers (Kelly & Alex) are great too! We have nothing but great things about our stay & our hosts. I'm just sad we couldn't stay longer. It really is an amazing spot. :)
