My wife and I came to LA to visit our son, a college student. The location was perfect - close enough to him yet also walking distance to Manhattan Beach and boardwalk so we could walk/run/bike ride every day as well as visit with him when he was available. Lots of good restaurants in walking distance as well and a Von's grocery store also. Did have a garage so we were able to park our rental at no extra charge and without hassle of seeking street parking. The unit had every amenity we needed: wonderfully comfortable bedroom. bathroom and living areas, well-equipped kitchen that even included chocolates and a bottle of wine. Thoughtful night-light in bathroom and great lighting all throughout, nice Grohe hand-held showerhead, excellent storage space (that bedroom closet is so functional), additional amenities like yoga mats, beach towels, first aid kit, toiletries, very nice bikes (and our hosts quickly provided bike locks when we requested them), new washer and dryer. Also has an outdoor shower to wash off the beach sand and BBQ grill on the deck - we didn't use those this time but maybe next time! A true home away from home. And the interior decorating is a coastal-themed soothing feel. Great place to relax, enjoy our visits with our son and our time on the beach. Thank you Sonia & Darwin for a great place to stay.
