I had a very nice stay at Mary's apartment. The apartment itself is perfectly located -- within walking distance of Hermosa Beach and its bar and restaurant scene, making it easy to access all those things while also allowing you to sleep easily at night. It's also very clean, and provides lots of space; the guest bedroom is large (two beds), as is the guest bathroom. Plus, there's a parking spot!

Mary was also a great host. She offered to buy me food from Trader Joe's and suggested places I might want to go in the area. If I was in town for longer I probably would have taken her up on those offers.

All in all, I would highly recommend Mary's apartment if you're looking for a place to stay in or around Hermosa Beach.

One note: Mary has a dog, Crow, which might look scary but is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met!
