Overall, the stay was lovely and the process of checking in and out was so easy. The entrance might be a bit confusing- just follow the check-in instructions carefully. The space is very accurate to photos but I was even still surprised at how impeccably clean the entire space was. I visited while it was a hot weekend and didn’t feel warm overnight at all. The bed was comfy and there were TONS of outlets around the room to charge devices. Yes, you will likely hear some living sounds from the main house (you do not enter or access the rest of the house- the door which would open to it is closed and blocked off) but it’s not offensively loud at all. The patio area is darling and just a treat to sit out on at night (wear your bug spray though- LA mosquitos have gotten so much worse in recent years). There isn’t a lot of shops/restaurants within 10 ish minutes walk (although the area felt extremely quiet and safe and friendly at night as a woman alone) but if you walk 25-30 minutes you can get to a huge shopping/cinema centre with a Whole Foods, restaurants, and a movie theatre. It would likely be a $6-9 lyft or uber ride there. I noticed it’s super close to a Night+Market restaurant which is an LA famous haunt for amazing high-rated food and drinks! It is a short drive (or scooter ride, I came across a few Lime/Byrds) to the beachside pathway. Definitely a great location for getting to beaches quickly and not having to fight traffic home to crash. I didn’t get to see the hosts but they were responsive and nice! I lived in LA for 8 years and came here for a visit back- I highly recommend it for solo or couple travelers who want some time in Beach towns in LA (check out Manhattan Beach!). I am so glad I found this spot and would definitely book again!
