I booked one of Vickie’s room because her place is close to the hospital where my Mom was admitted. I wish my stay was due to a vacation, however, having Vickie to keep me company was great as it relieved some of my worries and stress. It’s like coming home to a relative who gives you a warm hug after a bad day, but also respects your privacy if that is what you want. I love Spanish-style homes and anything vintage, so her place for me is charming. If you take time to appreciate the things that she owns (especially her sweet cats), she will tell you a story of most of them—from her quirky bowl collection to her beautiful vintage dining tables. I love every bit of her home and I loved every bit of time I spent there. It is a home with everything you need readily available: from cooking supplies to coffee, toiletries, and laundry supplies. It was my first time having to share a bath as my husband usually book a whole place for us in Airbnb, but all my worries went away my first night there as the guests I shared bathroom with was very respectful of other’s privacy and Vickie makes sure it’s kept tidy and clean too. She even went so far as helping me with my luggage during check-in and check out and made sure she was there to hug me goodbye. She was more like a friend than a host. Great recommendation for food too! I loved the Din Tai Fung Restaurant she recommended! Her place is walking distance to Redondo Beach Pier and lots of nearby restaurants. It was also nice to have met new people and find out where they are from. If I need to go back to Redondo Beach, I will not hesitate to stay in Vickie’s place and book the same room. Thank you, Vickie!
