Pros-- Location, location, location! This place is a 5 minute walk to the beach. There are a couple restaurants and a small grocery store in the immediate vicinity. The piers (Hermosa & Manhattan Beach) are closer to 25 minute walk, but well worth it, and there is a beautiful walking & biking path on the ocean. Amenities-- there is laundry on-site, and all of the essentials are provided (toilet paper, etc.) The kitchen and bathroom, while small, were both nice as well.
Cons--
Heating/Cooling: There is no AC, and there is no central heat. For heat, there is one old turn-style furnace that heats the main room, but the bedrooms have no heat.
Beds: The beds are fairly cheap quality and not super comfortable. Also not enough blankets for when it's cold at night.
Security: The heater was not working when I arrived and the owner had to send a maintenance person. He did not knock on the door, just immediately entered the unit. Similarly later in the week the property owner arrived to check on something and she also started entering the code to come directly into the unit, and lastly, a former AirBNB tenant showed up to look for something he forgot (I wasn't give notice about this), and also knew the code. I expect more security and privacy when I rent a place out and not to feel like people are just coming and going without knocking. Would also recommend the property owner change the door code when new guests check in.
