Melanie's place was fantastic! She was very friendly and the communication with her was flawless. Check-in was very smooth and she gave me lots of local tips. Her dogs were very cute and friendly. The location was perfect - walking distance to shops, good Japanese restaurants, and Del Amo Shopping center. The room was big enough for a solo traveler and the bed was comfortable. I'd highly recommend Melanie's place if you're staying in Torrance.
