If you're going to need a place to stay while in Redondo Beach, this is a good one. It is small but works nicely for 2 people. It is tastefully decorated with a homey touch. We did not cook in the few days we were there but the kitchen is well-stocked with equipment and utensils. It is on PCH so yes there is noise from the passing traffic but that did not bother me in the least. It is fairly close to the beach and pier - we walked there several times each day- and there are some restaurants close by. We walked to a wedding at the library near the pier- it was nice not having to drive there.
Do be aware that there is no air conditioning; this is not unusual for houses near a beach. Fortunately there were fans in the house because there was an extreme heat wave while we were there- the fans helped tremendously .
We felt at home at Mia's place and would recommend it to others.
