Niko's beach studio is a great little pad to get away from it all, but still have easy access to everything LA has to offer. The proximity and access to the ocean is hard to beat, and the studio is well appointed for Manhattan Beach. Located in a very safe and quiet neighborhood, there was never a concern leaving the door unlocked to take a quick dip in the water. Niko is an incredibly quick responder and hospitable host, and was able to help me out with several small needs that came up over the course of my stay.
