Everything at Rita's amazing little cottage was AWESOME. I cannot say enough good things about our stay. We were traveling for work in Torrance, and not only was the location perfect for that, but being able to walk to the beach every single night was sheer joy. It made us forget we were there for work and feel more like each day was an incredible vacation. It was the perfect way to experience California for our first time. We went to the beach and pier often, plus walked The Strand down at Hermosa Beach and fell in love with all the local ice-cream and gelato places, and enjoyed a sunset whenever we could.
The Cottage, besides being in a fantastic location, was decorated beautifully. It was sparkling clean and had all we needed. The full kitchen was so nice to have for our long stay. The bed was extremely comfortable and bigger than it appears in the photos. The bathroom was also larger than average and truly, everything was great... clean and pretty and comfortable. Rita was so considerate to leave coffee and bottled water for us, and tips on local restaurants was much appreciated!
Rita was easy to keep in touch with and even the neighbor (who lives in the larger house on the property) was helpful. Ability to do a load of laundry was also a nice bonus! Rita was always just a message or phone call away for anything we needed... check-in was a breeze and our whole stay went superbly.
This is what AirBNB is all about... great people hosting their great spaces in great locations. My husband and I could not have been happier. Not just a five-star experience, but a five-star +++++++ experience!
