It was my first time staying in Hermosa Beach and I loved it. Todd's place is the next best thing to being right on the ocean. Superb access to the beach and to lots of great services. Todd is a super host and his dog Forest shy, but very sweet. It was very nice to have a private space with a full bathroom and TV in his place. You can choose when you want to socialise or be more reclusive. Perfect for me!
