Kathy's place has so many charming places to enjoy! We were greeted by two hosts, Bill and Gabriel, who offered to carry our luggage into the home and gave us a tour of every part of the facility as soon as we arrived. We stayed during the holiday season, so we enjoyed TWO beautiful Christmas Trees in the home, one in the formal living room by the piano and another in the spacious family room by the breakfast table. I enjoyed sipping hot chocolate by the fire place, and there were always two fire places lit to enjoy, along with peaceful Christmas music playing in the background just like a hotel!
My daughter enjoyed laying in the cozy bed with the remote control to watch TV. Lots of bikes to use to ride to the local beach just a few blocks down the hill, and access to a kitchen with everything. My daughter and I also enjoyed having separate beds and a spacious closet in our room that also included a mini fridge, coffee maker /bar, coffee, etc.
The bathroom had a tub and shower and was very spacious and allowed me to spread out all of my makeup and skin care. The place was fresh and airy and I also enjoyed having a huge conference table to spread out my work, computer and other business items. I especially liked having a reading lamp near my bed too. Some places don't have one!
Kathy herself made the beds every day and also insisted on doing the dishes we left in the sink...so it was like having a mother around to make us feel comfy and welcome.
My family and I look forward to staying again at Kathy's place in the future. Playa del Rey "Beach of the King" is a small piece of heaven near the beach in the larger city of Greater Los Angeles. Make sure to stay at Kathy's place when nearby. It's one of the closest drives from LAX for a late night arrival, too.
