My friends and I had an awesome time in Hermosa Beach and our stay at Marianne's apartment was a large part of that. The place was clean and had an awesome shower. The pull out couch was comfortable as well. The highlights of this rental were the close proximity to the beach and the use of bikes and beach gear (towels, chairs) so we did not need to rent those ourselves. Marianne herself was very accommodating and responsive. The only negative is that there was no AC and we stayed here when it was hotter than the norm. Marianne provided us with fans, but it was still hot, even at night. Overall though, I would stay here again as long as it's a little cooler out!
