The place was as advertised. Pros were that it was right in the heart of Hermosa Beach with the coffee place right outside the front gate and a number of good to great restaurants within 50 yards of the apartment. Very clean and compact. The beach was approximately 200 yards from the front door as was the bike path which runs along the coast right next to the sand on the beach...had several nice rides, one heading south and the other North. Another major plus was the garage, we left our bikes in there and never moved the car for four days (parking at local hotels was $20 or more per night).

Cons, well, we were warned about the noise on Friday and Saturday nights from the bar that is right behind the apartment...the warning was spot on, and I can't wear ear plugs, so, even though we were up until midnight or so, the din of the repetitive music lasted until close to 2 a.m...not blaring loud, just a constant drone....that being said, a small price to pay for the location, location, location.
