Myself and my wife with our friends were visiting Redondo Beach for a golf event at Palos Verdes and trying to avoid hotel rooms at all costs we were very happy to find a nice updated home with 2 bedrooms for the same price. Marisa's home is located in a perfect spot 5 mins walk from the ocean. The street is very quiet/wide with very easy to find street parking. Strait away you could tell Marisa is a host that cares about her guests. Personal touches everywhere and great communication.
The living area and master bedroom were the stars of the show. Newly renovated and beautiful, they were very spacious and a very nice place to spend the week. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of space for 4 people to cozy up at night. The large tv with access to many streaming services was great to have. The second bedroom is a bit small but having such a nice common area the only reason to use it was for sleep. The 2nd bathroom across the hall was nice with some seriously hot water for a great shower.
The back door leads to a BBQ, sitting area, garage and a second property that is rented out. In the garage we had access to 2 bikes that we used multiple times to cycle along the beach front and get to some local restaurants.
Overall it was one of the most enjoyable stays in a while and was nice to feel like a local for the week being at Marisa's place!
