Heather was an excellent host and communicated very well. She was not there personally but made herself available if we needed. The house is about 15 minutes away from LAX and about 10 minutes from Manhattan beach. There are a lot of cars parked in the street but we got to park in the driveway so that was not an issue. The house is as described with tons of beautiful natural light. I get sensitive to the heat but the house stays fairly cool with a glorious breeze if you open the windows. Scout is such a friendly dog and adds a great home touch during your stay!
