Elizabeth was an outstanding host - great communication, answered all my questions in a timely fashion, worked with my schedule to make things like check-in/check-out easier! The room is so big and clean and nice - there's even a balcony with chairs and a table. I guess LA isn't really a walking city like Boston (where I'm from) but I walked everywhere anyway! Redondo beach is less than a 15 min walk and Hermosa beach is less than a 30 min walk, but you can also easily drive to the beaches. It was my first time staying in an air bnb alone and I couldn't have picked a better first experience!
