This was a great place to stay. Beautiful, clean home. Easy to find. It's in a quiet, residential neighborhood. There is occasional overhead airplane noise due to the proximity to the airport. It's about a 15 min drive to Manhattan Beach. The only aspect I was slightly disappointed with was that guests are expected to strip the beds and wash the sheets and towels. We did it, and it's not the end of the world, but I don't feel it's the guests' responsibility especially when we're paying a cleaning fee. Everything else was great and we were very happy with our stay at Cecilia's.
