We had the loft for 3 nights. The listing and photo's were very accurate. Listing stated the stairs were steep, which they were, but not too much of a problem. We messaged Gail ahead of time with questions which she promptly answered. Gail also emailed us very detailed information on how to enter the property, it was all very straightforward. We had a pretty tight schedule and were not able to meet Gail in person. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the place was outfitted. In addition to the two burner stove she had a convection oven, crock pot/rice cooker, cutting board and just about anything you might need. There is also a little closet with a washer & dryer which was great for washing beach towels before coming home. My favorite was the coffee press which I'd never used before, it made the best coffee! I really loved the large table in the kitchen, the couch in front of the TV and the nice sized bathroom downstairs. Gail has the place decorated very nicely and you can tell she really prides herself on providing good service. She left us a very nice basket with snacks, wonderful coffee in the cupboard and lots of helpful tips and ideas in the binder and treasure chest. The loft is set back in an alley which was unusual but we got use to it. We had our own parking spot in the alley with our own little gated patio so we were very self sufficient. The surrounding neighborhood was nice, quite and well kept. One thing we didn't realize was the strip of Pacific Coast Highway leading from the east into Lomita was a little more sketchy than we are used to. We saw several businesses such as XXX movies etc, didn't expect that. We did however love the closeness of Torrance Beach which is about 30 minutes down the PCH from the loft, very nice area just to the west.
Overall a nice stay!
