My boyfriend and I were in LA for a wedding and I am so glad we stayed at Todd's. It was only a block or so from Hermosa Beach, which is a super quiet, residential neighborhood away from the craziness of LA. The room was clean, cool, and comfortable with a nice soft bed. Todd made us feel right at home. We had a busy weekend, so didn't spend much time at the house, but always appreciated having a relaxing haven to come back to between activities. His dog is very sweet and mostly just hangs out on the stair landing. We were always happy to see her when we came home. I can definitely recommend Todd's place, especially if you want to spend most of your time in the beach cities.
