Charming and homely, 1 minute walk to the beach! My family and I loved it. The bikes that come with the unit were awesome, we biked on the Strand every day. neighborhood is quiet and charming, with a lot of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Marianne was extremely helpful with pointing out the nearby places of interest, especially when we had a personal issue. We loved Hermosa Beach and would love to spend some time in that area in the near future!
