I stayed at Rich's place for 2+ months while in LA for a work assignment. Although I had found the listing very last minute, it ended up being exactly what I was looking for: clean, newly renovated, close to the beach and downtown Hermosa, and including a parking spot and washer/dryer unit. Every morning when I woke up I felt like I was on vacation - despite the fact that I would be going to the office! Rich was very hospitable, communicative, and accommodating with respect to anything I needed. I would definitely stay here again.
