We had such a wonderful stay here. It was my first time in California and what a perfect first trip! I was so sad to leave. The studio was wonderful, exactly as it looked in the photos and in such a great location. We were able to walk and bike all over Manhattan beach/Santa Monica/Venice. The studio was clean and the perfect size. Niko was an excellent host... very good with communication and answering any questions! We will most certainly be back to Manhattan beach! (hopefully soon!!!) :)
