Great property, good value! Marcia is a great host and is prompt at communicating. It was great having a private room and bathroom. Room was very comfortable, had a nice desk with bookshelf and lamp that I could work at, great for my needs. Wireless router was just across the wall so speeds were great.
Neighborhood is fairly high density, so having a private space is key. The space is off by itself, so no chance of random fender-benders, a plus. It's just about a 3.5 mile drive to Hermosa beach. Plenty of restaurants, stores, Costco nearby, close to the 405 and the Galleria. As the listing notes, it is a 15 step walk up the stairs, not a big deal for me. As it is a busy neighborhood, there can be a bit of noise, I stayed on a hot July night, hot enough to where I had to keep the window open, and there was a birthday party somewhere nearby. It wasn't an issue for me, but something for others to be aware of. Marcia was a great host, definitely went the extra mile to make sure that I was comfortable and was extremely helpful. Loved my stay, it was everything I needed, will definitely be back!
