Studio in Southbay close to the beach SoFi stadium LAX
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
This is a private studio apartment in the South Bay area of Los Angeles, offering independent access, a private bathroom, and a kitchenette, making it well suited to travelers who want a self-contained, home-like base rather than a traditional hotel room. The unit accommodates two guests with one queen-size bed. A private entrance separates the studio from the main house, adding privacy for guests.
Kitchen & Living Space
The kitchenette is fully equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, electric range, portable oven, coffee maker, and electric boiler, along with plates, silverware, and glasses for cooking meals in. A table inside the studio doubles as a spot to eat or work while enjoying the privacy of the space. Additional in-unit comforts include cable TV, free Wi-Fi, heating, and an ironing board.
Outdoor Space
Guests have access to a garden and patio featuring flowers, lemon trees, and surrounding greenery, plus a hot tub for relaxing outdoors. A larger terrace with a BBQ area is available for morning coffee or grilling, and the backyard is described as a quiet retreat that catches the sea breeze given the property's proximity to the coast.
Dining Nearby
The studio sits within walking distance of a notable cluster of restaurants, including Rustic Food, Amo Italia, Toast & Yolk, and a Thai restaurant all roughly 340-465 meters away, plus Havana Mania, Loaded Cafe, Islands Restaurant, Corner Joint, NORMS Restaurant, and Bossa Nova Brazilian Cuisine within about 2.3 kilometers. This gives guests a wide range of cuisines -- American, Italian, Cuban, Thai, Brazilian, and breakfast fare -- without needing a car.
Location & Surroundings
The property is close to Redondo Beach Pier, Hermosa Beach, and Manhattan Beach, as well as SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum, and is within walking distance of a shopping mall and movie theaters. Hawthorne Municipal Airport is about 5 kilometers away and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) about 8.3 kilometers away, with bus and train stops near the house and easy freeway access. Universal Studios, Disneyland, and Hollywood are all roughly a 20-minute drive.
Best for
This studio suits couples, solo travelers, or business travelers on short LAX layovers who want a private, self-catering space close to the beach, SoFi Stadium, and Kia Forum. It also appeals to guests who value a home-style kitchen and outdoor patio over a standard hotel room, given the full kitchenette, hot tub, and private garden.
Travel tips
Free street parking is available 24/7 on a first-come, first-served basis, but guests should avoid parking on the street on Thursdays between 9 and 11 am due to street cleaning. A bus and train stop near the house make it easy to reach nearby beaches, the shopping mall, and restaurants without a car, while LAX (about 8 km) and Hawthorne Municipal Airport (about 5 km) are both a short drive away. Redondo Beach Pier, Hermosa Beach, and Manhattan Beach are all a short trip from the studio, and Hollywood, Universal Studios, and Disneyland are roughly 20 minutes away by car via nearby freeways.
