Niko's place is a great spot in the northern area of Manhattan Beach. His listing is very accurate, and we had zero unpleasant surprises. It truly is within steps to the beach, and the beach itself was never too crowded while we stayed, which was over a weekend. There are several good restaurants nearby, and if you want to venture out some, it's an easy bike ride or a cheap Uber ride to the Manhattan Beach pier area or even Hermosa Beach. Niko was really responsive whenever we had a question. He helped me find a spot to get some new shades, so that was really nice of him. The Studio itself is a great little spot; quiet, relaxing, and a great spot to just hang out if you just feel like having some drinks. Overall, it's a great spot, especially for the price. Highly recommended.
