Steven was very welcoming to us (even with our 9 month old!) and easy to connect with. He welcomed us as we arrived, gave us a helpful tour of the place and good recommendations of local places to go to. The apartment itself was cozy and clean, with extras in the kitchen for cooking if you so desire. Steven also offered us use of a couple bikes, a surf board and beach chairs/umbrellas. This location is hard to beat! It sits about a 1-2 minute walk from the board walk of beautiful Hermosa Beach and about 5 minutes from the Hermosa Beach Pier restaurants. The only issue we had was that there was noise from construction next to the home most of the days which made napping for the baby (and us) difficult.
