I spent a little over a month at Carol's place while I was moving into the area and house hunting. My stay was pretty near perfect. The location is wonderful. I had a car, but could easily walk to the store, gym, yoga, restaurants, coffee and the ocean! The studio is well equipped with anything you need to make your stay comfortable, to relax, to cook your own meals, etc. I loved to sit on the deck and watch the sun set into the ocean. The neighborhood is lovely and safe. I enjoyed the area so much, I moved just a few blocks away! Carol was a great host. Highly recommend her place if you're looking to stay in Hermosa Beach!
