I stayed seven nights in August 2011 at Omar's bungalow in Redondo Beach and had a great time. The pictures Omar posts accurately depict the space. The beach is just around the corner and the neighborhood is safe. It's about a 20-40 minute drive to many of the main tourist sites in L.A. (traffic permitting!). The bungalow is situated at the edge of a small development of similar bungalows that share common walkways. You'll see and hear the foot traffic of other guests and residents, but everyone seemed to keep the noise down after dark. Omar does a great job keeping the place in a condition that makes you feel welcome. I'd definitely stay again next time I'm in L.A.
