Had a great week at Ashley's place! She provides everything you could possibly think of needing, and then adds items you didn't even think you might want, ranging from a box of snacks to backup toiletries. The place is clean and private. The neighborhood appears safe - I walked to my course at UCLA Harbor Med Ctr most days. Some other tidbits: No, the dogs weren't noisy. Some barking around pickup time, but completely quiet at night. There is parking on the street. Torrance is a good base for exploring the South Bay. Enjoy!
