My boyfriend and I recently stayed at Carrie and Tyler's place and absolutely loved it. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, the apartment itself was surprisingly spacious and the back yard was serene and calming, not to mention the large jacuzzi tub to soak in!
Inside the apartment, the windows and doors were open and let in a beautiful cross breeze. The apartment was nicely decorated, the couch and bed were both very comfortable. We weren't here long enough to cook, but it was a fully functioning kitchen. The coffee Carrie provided was pretty tasty as well. We would definitely stay here again, in fact we might try again, after next years ALC ride. It was a perfect retreat after a week of traveling & camping from San Francisco along the California coast. Oh, and the neighborhood is very close to Manhattan Beach which has lots of restaurants, shopping and of course the boardwalk. It was a lovely introduction to Los Angeles.
