Car #2 noses in behind car #1 and can overhang into the street by about 18-24". This parking practice is common in the neighborhood. There is a third parking spot in the driveway that is occupied by the owners classic car. Please take care to avoid the classic car when parking. South Bay Beach Cities (Manhattan, Hermosa, Redondo, El Segundo, Playa Del Rey) are definitely a "bubble", separated enough from the bustle of LA that they do feel like a true escape. Staying in the bubble and hanging at the beach is highly acceptable and great get away to escape the bustle of LA for a weekend. If you don't have a rental car, I recommend using UBER (it is far better value than a regular taxi). It is very easy to download the app on your smart phone and start using it instantly. Home truths: - Guests should just be aware that traffic noise is audible in the house and rear yard. - The master bedroom has 16' vaulted ceilings that are open to the living room ceiling. This loft style ceiling is very beautiful and what makes the space unique, but guests should be aware that sound travels between the living room and master bedroom. - House has an open loft which is not accessible to guests. - House bathroom has a rainfall shower, no bath tub. - A/C is portable and not central Please note this is a beach house — you should note that as such the home does show wear from the saturation of salt water and corrosion. Any reservations made affected by such issues are disclaimed and are not eligible for refunds or credits. Such examples may include but are not limited to doors that require more effort to open, windows that have a layer of salt film, furnishings a little worn, and generally rusted metal throughout *All rentals with 28+ nights require a rental agreement signed naming and identifying all adult occupants (must present valid ID).
