We had a great 4-night stay at Katherine’s cottage while our house was being fumigated for termites. The cottage is exactly as it shows in the photographs – very clean, cozy, well-furnished, and the perfect size for two occupants. There was plenty of storage space in the closet, and the bathroom had a decent amount of counter and shelf space, and an abundant supply of toiletries. The kitchen had a ref/freezer, stove, microwave, a large sink, and was stocked with more than the “starter” amount of spices, sauces, snacks, and beverages that I would expect at an Airbnb. We had no problems getting onto the WiFi system in the cottage nor with finding a parking spot right in front of the house every evening.
Katherine was a gracious host. Because we are local to Redondo Beach, she let us have a look at the cottage a couple of weeks before we checked in. She was so accommodating of our situation - removing a few items in the cottage to make room for the many things we were hauling due to the house fumigation, and even giving us some space in her garage freezer for food storage! She is warm and friendly and was constantly offering to help. The cottage is in a great neighborhood, near LAX, freeway access, local amenities, and the beach. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a spot in the Beach Cities/South Bay area of Los Angeles.
