This is our second time staying in this unit. Unfortunately, this year, there was another renter above us in the other unit at the same time. It was very loud when we were all in for the night / up in the morning / during the day. You can hear them waking, shutting doors, moving chairs, etc.
There is also a massive construction / renovation project happening in the house directly behind this air bnb complex. We are talking maybe a 5 foot separation. If you’re going here to relax, unwind, sleep in, or work remotely definitely make sure you’re aware that these same conditions could apply to your stay.
I am well aware that this is not the hosts fault, but it does negatively impact the stay.
The unit was a little warm even with the a/c on, but I am also from Maryland and have a very low heat tolerance and my a/c is always set at 68 which I feel is comfortable. 74 is the lowest you can set the thermostat and it was just too hot and sticky for a comfortable night stay even with a cracked window for a nice hermosa beach breeze. The bed was also a little stiff and with spending a week and a few days here, it did take a toll on our body’s.
Besides all that, you cannot beat the location. It’s the best one we have found and we have been vacationing in hermosa beach for 7 years. Having a full kitchen is incredible to help cut down on eating out costs. But if you want to shop, eat and spend you are steps away from everything. If you’re there to beach and sleep, 10 out of 10, recommend.
The host does live in the courtyard as well, so you’ll probably run into him from time to time.
