Trust me - when it says beach view, it means it - you are overlooking the beach and the far harbour port of LA - magical to walk down and swim in the dawn. Made very welcome, all was explained and Caroline popped round on my second morning to make sure I had everything I need. Wonderful base to go walking on the shore and explore the area - including a whale watchinb trip from Long Beach, fantastic dinner at Port's O Call and there is a brilliant diner two hundred yards from the apartment. Thank you!
