Charlene's place is a fantastic location. When you are out in front of her place you look straight down a short hill at the ocean waves breaking on the beach. I parked in front of the garage and walked right in. Anyplace in this area where you get a parking spot is a special place. The bed was fantastic, I don't sleep well when I travel but I curled right up and slept great. Since this was just a one night get away and I don't actually live that far away we didn't go out for the night life much but it is a great location Manhattan Beach is the place to be in this area. Also didn't use the kitchen much but it was well stocked. It appears that Charlene occupies this place when she is not hosting. The first time I stayed in a similar place it felt a different being in another person's home. I use airbnb a few times a year and have found that places where the host occupies the place feel much more like home. Charlene's place felt just like we were at home and there was everything we needed. I would definitely rent this place anytime I needed a place in So Cal.
