Adrian and Janeth were fantastic hosts. The house was spotless, and we really enjoyed the amenities. They had coffee and snacks for us, as well as toothpaste, soaps, plenty of towels, and blankets for us. The TV/entertainment system was nice. The space heaters weren't quite enough to keep the whole house warm, but it warmed up our bedrooms just fine. The beds were really comfortable, and the giant speakers were awesome while we got ready in the morning. Unbelievably, Adrian even lent us his car for an afternoon - which I've never had happen before. Responses were really fast and they made sure we had everything we needed.
Lyfts to Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach from Hawthorne were ~15-30 minutes. Lyfts to downtown were ~45-60 minutes. Santa Monica, ~15-30 min.
