A great hostel! Just so you know, the entrance can be tricky to find: between Waterman's and the Lighthouse Cafe, there will be a small door leading up a flight of steps to the office. Right in the heart of Hermosa beach restaurants and the pier is right there. To park for free, you will have a 10ish minute walk, but you can find space nearby while you unload your stuff and check-in (I just got a cup of coffee to park at Scotty's). Staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great but definitely be aware that you'll hear the sounds of nightlife outside, which I enjoy.
