In a nutshell, Gabe is a fantastic host and the location of his house is both beautiful and convenient! I stayed in Redondo because it was close to a wedding venue I was heading to the next day, but it was so much better than just a convenient place. Friends I was meeting were running late, so Gabe kindly offered to show me a lovely happy hour place on the Redondo Beach Pier, a South Bay landmark that is just across the street and is definitely worth heading to in the evening. The next day, I had to drop my friends off at LAX and it took less than 20min from his place. The room was immaculate and comfortable. Bonus: there was a minor issue of unanticipated maintenance and Gabe was apologetic, professional, and generous in the way he dealt with it. I would definitely stay here again!
