This place is definitely within easy walking distance of Redondo beach. The front area is gated and has a hedge that makes it feel separate from the busy street that runs in front. Lots of nice touches, like a Keurig, well-stocked glassware in the kitchen, and lots of nice towels. It was very easy to cool down the rooms if we felt it had gotten stuffy over the day; there are lots of windows and fans. We didn't spend a lot of time at the apartment (lots of beach time!) but the time we did spend there was relaxing.
