My stay with Brian and his family was great! Brian's wife was very welcoming when I arrived and made sure I got settled easily. The unit was absolutely beautiful and very very clean and comfortable. The location was great and a very easy and short walk into downtown Manhattan Beach and 1 block from the actual beach. The living room area, bedroom, and bathroom were all very roomy and comfortable. It was great to have your own private entrance so you didn't feel like you were disturbing them at any time throughout the stay. Brian was so nice that he messaged to tell me they were purchasing a pay per view fight in case I wanted to see it on my tv (very thoughtful!). Everything about the unit and Brian and his family was wonderful and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if/when I return to the area. The until did get quite chilly at night, but I think it was unusual weather on my trip and probably not the norm. They had a heater that you could plug in and use which I did when I was in the living room, but I didn't feel comfortable keeping it on all night in the bedroom, so I used an additional comforter on top of the bed to keep warm. It was nice and toasty with the additional comforter. As Brian mentions, you can hear the footsteps above pretty easily, but it wasn't bothersome to me and there wasn't excessive noise at all. Overall, it is a great unit with wonderful hosts and I highly recommend it!
