I stayed at Carrie's place because I had my Step 2 CS medical licensing exam in El Segundo. Most people who take the exam will stay in hotels near the airport but I am so glad that I went with Carrie's place. It was competitively priced with the nearby hotels and was only a 5 minute uber ride from the testing center. Everything was perfect for relaxing and reducing stress before the exam. I was able to ride a bike provided by Carrie to the beach (only a 5 min ride) and explore the town with ease. The outdoor shower was a nice touch. It has all the hot water and pressure you'd expect from a regular shower except you can listen to the birds sign. There is plenty of privacy though it is located on a shared patio so if you are shy it might not be your thing. The hot tub was clean and great to use after the exam. The place was very clean, comfortable and quiet. It had everything I needed and I honestly couldn't have asked for a more relaxing stay. Carrie provided great check in instructions and communicated effectively. I highly recommend it for anyone taking their CS exam who wants something more personable and with a little spare time to explore.
