A friendly family that understand family needs. THey let us use the kitchen which was important for my family. It is very lived in, so expect that the family will be present and the family use is very spatially present, yet they also mind their business and don't get in your way and are busy with their own importances. We stayed in the master room above and they stay below the premises. THe room was nice and fit our needs. Note there are guests in the two rooms across the hall. I know my family is loud and I felt very conscious of that. Just details that I feel are important and wish I knew. About a 10-15 drive o Manhattan beach and a 35 minute drive to Long beach- another important detail to note. The host stated that the neighborhood was safe and never a problem, but we smelled pot around the premises and I felt the neighborhood was "seedy".
