Brian’s immaculate studio is comfortable, pleasant, very well-provisioned, and maintained to perfection. It’s compact (as other reviews mention) but the outdoor patio (really more like an Al fresco living room) more than compensates. What a special spot! We loved jogging along the Strand, walking to the beach for the afternoon, meeting friends for lunch, and going out for drinks/dinner.. ALL WITHIN BLOCKS. We can’t wait to return— a perfect couples getaway. As nice as a hotel but with my own coffee in AM and laundry.

Loved the place. Seems small at first (it is a studio), but the private patio was extremely comfortable and like a total extra room. Very high end finishes and nice touches all around. Two blocks to the beach and two blocks to downtown, Three blocks to grocery. It was perfect.

Very enjoyable three days at this studio. Excellent location. The living/sleeping area is a bit small, the size of a bedroom, but the bathroom is a good size and the kitchen area big enough to prepare and store food and drink. Thank you for providing such a comfortable home away from home.

This was a great spot to stay - super convenient and in one of the best possible locations. The apartment is small, but the attention to detail and amenities are perfect with many extra/thoughtful touches throughout. Literally has everything you need. The bathroom is very large, and the outdoor patio is big and private - so you have even more living space available to make it feel even bigger. Perfect for short stays, but definitely doable for longer. Would love to stay again on my next time through. Thank you!

Perfect spot for a getaway in the Manhattan Beach area. A couple of blocks from the beach and downtown.

This was an awesome unit. Every attention to detail given. These owners literally thought of EVERYTHING! Convenience is A+. Beach steps away. I highly recommend!

This was our 2nd time staying at Brian's property and we thoroughly enjoyed it again! The downstairs unit is a well-equipped and designed studio with all the necessary amenities we need including nicely equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom with a top-notch dual-shower head & faucet combo, big lighted mirror, hair dryer, plenty of towels and toilet paper, lots of storage cubbies, washer/dryer combo, large closet with full-length mirror doors. The bed is a Murphy style that Brian already had pulled down and made up. We did not ever push it back up but could have if we needed more living room space during the day. WIFI and large smart TV worked great. The unit opens to a private outdoor living area with furniture - we used it on our first stay but not this time since we had a busy schedule out and about. We had a nice on-property parking spot for an economy size car. Access is via smart locks on the gate and doors so we never had to worry about managing keys although he does have a key option for the doors if wanted. Brian does an excellent job of instant, helpful, detailed communication. We will definitely be back again as it is our favorite place to stay when we are in LA. Thank you, Brian!

Everything about the property lived up to our expectations...and more. Being from the area originally, we knew the location was spectacular, but for anyone visiting for the first time, you cannot beat being so close to The Strand and also walking distance to restaurants/shops. As far as the property itself, one of the best amenities offered is a parking spot, as street parking can be very difficult. Inside, everything was immaculate. The bedding and towels were on the more luxurious side and very comfortable. The attention to detail as far as "extras" that a traveler might need was a very pleasant surprise. I am someone who cannot live without their hair straightening iron, so I had brought my own, but it was amazing to see that there was one in the bathroom available for a traveler who may have forgotten theirs. The host, Brian, had asked us ahead of time if there was anything he could provide to make our stay even better, and he had stocked the kitchen with snacks, drinks, and fresh half and half for our morning coffee! The only thing that would have made our stay even better is if we could have spent more than four nights at this property. Thank you, Brian!

This unit is in such a nice spot of Manhattan Beach, an easy and comfortable walk to downtown and the beach. The space is so well organized, the kitchen is labeled nicely as well as all lighting. The space was perfect for me to relax after work, and is really clean. The bathroom and kitchen are so nice and the private yard is great. One of the best spaces I have stayed in and communication with the host is really good and they are super accommodating and helpful with quick replies as well! If you’re okay with a studio space, then don’t hesitate to book here. :)

Manhattan Beach is a special place and this amazing spot is just a walk up from the beach. It is just perfect! I loved the Bosch appliance, the beautiful cabinets, comfy queen bed and all the top notch amenities that Brian put into this wonderful studio. He spared no expense. It is walking distance to town where there is fun shopping and great restaurants and grocery store. Brian is an incredible host and made me feel so welcome. There is a great backyard with barbecue, lounge chairs & love seats to enjoy the beautiful weather but again it’s just a jot to the beach! I had such a fantastic stay that I booked the amazing upstairs unit for my stay in December. Can’t wait to spend more memories at this amazing and well cared for place by the sea! I loved it! I give it 5 stars hands down.
