Vickie is a tremendous host! It is clear that she cares very much that each person staying in her home feels welcome and has everything they need during their stay. In the short time during my stay, not only did I have a very comfortable experience, I made a new friend in Vickie and I will definitely stay at her place again on my future visits to Redondo Beach!
The place very much fulfills on her descriptions of the space. While the room does not have any windows (as she described), she has numerous lights available in the room - at the bed, at the desk, in the ceiling, and on the table in the entry. It's a very cozy room. I also found it great as a workspace, being in the basement it was very quiet and I could focus on work for hours with minimal disruption.
The neighborhood around Vickie's home is quiet and safe. I would be completely comfortable walking from there to the beach and back without worrying about a thing.
All in all this was a lovely visit and I look forward to staying again.
