I only stayed a couple of nights in order to check out how Redondo and Hermosa Beach(s) had changed since I lived there in the '70s. This was an ideal place to stay and although I didn't meet Omar, his communications and answers to my questions were immediate and informative. He has had great reviews - I wont add to them as all were accurate!! If you do go, and are interested in jazz walk to The Lighthouse near Hermosa Pier - they have great sessions weekends from 11 to 3pm (mid-day, not nights like in the '70's !!) .
