It was a pleasure staying with Heather. We didn't meet until the second day but Check-in was super easy. I think it's a nice Bonus that you can Check-in whenever. We got all the details beforehand so no problems at all.
Heathers dog Scout is just lovely and instantly listened to us :-)
There are grocery stores, fast-food chains, a starbucks and even a Macy's closeby but be aware that you will need a car to get around. If you get a chance I would highly reccomend going to Manhattan and Hermosa Beach - it's fantastic there.
Also Heather provided breakfast and let us use her coffee maker for fresh coffee in the morning. So Nice!
Thank you for having us!
