Marianne was really hospitable, organised to meet us when we arrived in LA and lent us a parking pass. The apartment is very clean, has some beach chairs and a cooler you can carry down three very short blocks to the beach, and the fold out couch is one of the comfiest I've slept on.

The place is great value and in an excellent location for beach access with restaurants and bars nearby. The Hermosa pie shop is excellent!
