Bright, spacious house in Torrance. Worked perfectly for my family of 4, though we did have to keep an eye on the toddler to make sure he didn't fall down the stairs. (Owner has put some additional grating on the stair barriers, but an enterprising child could still climb up and fall down...)
Home was clean (except for some ants that we took care of with Terro). Furnishings are a bit dated but the master bed mattress is surprisingly comfortable. My husband and I both agreed that we slept better here than at home. The master shower has amazing water pressure. Neighbors are also a bit loud - two of the 6 nights they were there, they had people over and were chatting/laughing until 11 pm one night and nearly 3 am the other (not the owner's fault, obviously).
Location is super convenient - a number of grocery stores and restaurants within 5-10 minutes, walk to a park for the kiddos, 5 minutes to the PCH, 15 minutes to the 405.
Overall, we had a nice stay.
