Quiet location high up in hills on backside of Palos Verdes Península. Beautiful view marred by low-hanging power lines. A car is necessary for access. Good value but remember you're staying in a converted garage: other than entrance door (fortunately covered by a screened door), only natural ventilation and natural light comes from a small high side window. Very well equipped kitchen with full-sized appliances (no dishwasher but that did not inconvenience me) and a generous large walk-in closet. I was pleasantly surprised with agreeable climate even in late August so did not need to use air conditioning.
Use of laundry facilities requires access to main house.
I had difficulty getting the key-coded doorknob to work and had to call Shayda for help upon arrival. She arrived very quickly to let me in and we improvised a satisfactory solution to access during my stay. I had arrived late in the evening after a long inter-continental flight and an hour's drive from the LAX airport, so this initial inconvenience was rather disappointing. I understand Shayda will change the locks to prevent this situation from recurring.
