Hosts were very accommodating to change in plans and accordingly responsive. Five stars for the hosts. Unfortunately I was not able to meet them in person during my stay.
The bungalow itself is well-maintained and does have all the amenities that one would require for a nice week stay. Any longer stay requires a trip to the laundromat as there are no laundry facilities on the property.
The bathroom is a little bit cramped and quirky, but that is to be expected in a place that was built many years ago and is one of the “originals” in the area.
The surrounding area is a typical residential area that is located within a few blocks of the beach. There are some small supermarkets and a chain pharmacy within easy walking distance.
The sandy beach is about a 10 to 15 minute walk downhill and to the left of the Redondo Beach pier, along with the family friendly park, that dominate the beach access. The pier has some very friendly shops, including a very unique place to open your own oysters to get a pearl, and a few restaurants that do have some great views of the sunset.
Finally, as the host will likely warn you, it is street parking only and there are some rules about which side of the street certain days that you can park on. Nonetheless, I never had trouble finding a space to park my car on the same block. Most of the time I was able to park directly in front of the property.
