Floor was filty…feet black after walking on them after a shower. No pans to cook with for eggs, grilled cheese etc. Parking situation was misrepresented as we did not have a spot behind the property at all times…just if it happened to. E available and street parking is a bit difficult. Towels looked dingy.

Peaceful beach retreat
Loved our stay away from the chaos of L.A. A gem in a quiet neighborhood on the beach. Worked very well for us. Central location to hit the theme parks, Little Tokyo, Griffiths Observatory, and the beach. Only a short drive south to enjoy the waves, as the beach was waveless within walking distance.

It was a nice secluded place. There was no laundry soap and toilet paper was low as well. Things needed to be stocked up better than they were.
