Carrie is a wonderful host and this studio was perfect. She left free tickets to her show, a bottle of wine, a nice bottle of water, some glasses and a refund check for $20 because the room I originally booked was rented. This studio was perfect. It had a really cute patio and jacuzzi. Free beach bikes to use and I heard something about a surfboard and saw a wetsuit in the closet. There was a coffee pot with tea and coffee as well as toiletries for us to use.

Carrie came out and greeted us though she was running late for her performance to make sure that we had everything we needed. She is incredibly generous, kind, approachable and always there if you need her (though we didn't need to contact her, since everything was taken care of).

Location is perfect- near LAX ($15 cab ride), walking distance to downtown El Segundo (about 2 blocks), over a hill to El Segundo beach and the bike lane along the ocean that you can take to Venice, Santa Monica or Manhattan/Hermosa Beaches.

We also changed my in-laws' lives when they saw the beautiful studio- they'd never travelled via vacation rental and I told them it's the only way to go. Then, they saw Carrie's place and were sold.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
