Oleg was an incredibly welcoming and responsive host, and the flat was very comfortable and had everything I needed. If you need to be in the Manhattan Beach or Brighton Beach area, this is the place to stay. For what it's worth, this trip was only my third with Airbnb. The first two left me feeling like I wouldn't be inclined to use Airbnb in the future. But thanks to Oleg, this trip was the positive Airbnb experience I had previously only heard of. Third time's a charm! I'll be back, both to Airbnb, and to Oleg's Manhattan Beach flat.
