Warm welcome from Steven on arrival. He showed us the facilities and working elements of the apartment, gave us very good briefing of the local haunts, restaurants and other Hermosa entertainments. We had fine-tuned our arrival time to meet Steven by text message as we approached Hermosa Beach by car. Steven offered easy contact at any time we needed...though as a previous resident of the area I had little need to take him up on this! Parking permit was invaluable as well.
