Steve's studio is quiet and cozy and is about a $20 cab ride from the airport. Supplied are basics like coffee, shower gel etc which is great for a short stay, as is the short distance to the airport. What we liked best was the quick walk to El Segundo beach, which has beautiful sunset views - Steve was also a great host, very good at responding to our queries and offered us lifts when he could. For those without a car, you will have to walk quite a bit to access public transport - 15 minutes to the Beach Transit 109 stop, which will take 9 minutes to get to the nearest Metro station. From there it takes about an hour to get into downtown LA, so the studio is much more for those who want to hang out and enjoy the coastal views.
