Vickie was truly wonderful. She was open and friendly right from the start. The room is very large, airy and well decorated. The house is beautiful and one is able to use the entire house including the kitchen. Redondo beach is walking distance away and the area is safe and beautiful to enjoy the true California lifestyle. The only advice for this area was that if you wish to go further down to manhattan beach for example you will need to rent a bike to get around, or rent a car to get around LA, as the distances are far. Other than this it was a wonderful stay. I enjoyed the three cats Vickie has in the house, which were very friendly and warm. If you are looking for a cozy, warm house in California this place was wonderful.
