We were looking for a place close to our friends wedding and found this beauty only four blocks away. Carrie provided clear instructions in advance and can also in the room. The location is great in terms of access to the beach and local cafes but expect to hear planes flying over (as expected in this general area due to closeness to LAX). Carrie has been a great host the whole time. World-class customer service. (I wish some hotels offer this time of service). The walls are thin so if you're a light sleeper and there are other guests next door, use earplugs. Overall the stay was pleasant and location was very convenient.
