Wendy’s cottage was a safe, gated spot in one of the best locations Redondo beach has to offer. With that being said, it does feel a bit odd to have Wendy stay right next door and having other guests in an arms reach nearby. This gives the cottage a more ‘hostel’ feeling rather than ‘entire cottage to yourself’ as listed on the Airbnb website. Without a doubt, this cottage is in one of the most accessible locations in Redondo beach and is worth the stay, but the cottage does get hot frequently with doors shut. Overall, I believe that our stay felt safe and welcoming, but falls a bit short of the promise of privacy.
