I had a very positive experience. Having to go to Long Beach for a conference, I preferred to stay at Andrew's rather than at the hotel. I rented a car and a surfboard. Early in the morning in a 10-minute drive I went to Torrance to do some surfing, then back home, shower, and in a 15-minute drive I was in Long Beach for the congress. 15 minutes from home to go to Hermosa, 5-10 minutes drive to the most scenic places in San Pedro and Palos Verdes. Walking distance to supermarket and various eating places in the area. Super friendly welcome, clean rooms, quiet and pleasant environment, breakfast included. Staying in the hotel, I could have done almost nothing.
