This little cottage is really cute and just as pictured. Location is great within the town, as it's only a few blocks from the pier in Redondo. However, I will say that if you plan on exploring outside of the 3 beach cities (all walkable/bikeable), you will need a car. Otherwise, Redondo is just too far from Venice/Santa Monica or Hollywood, etc. While we had counted on access to the bicycles as part of the reason we booked the cottage, we didn't see any bikes and we never saw a host in order to ask about them. This is part of the overall communication mishaps we had with the hosts - we'd messaged two days in advance to inquire about just dropping our bags off early (especially in light of the late check-in time of 4 PM) and never received a response.
