This was by far the best airbnb experience I've ever had. Carol is an amazing host. She was so gracious, pleasant, and went above and beyond for me and my friend. Her home was simply glorious. The pictures don't lie at all - spacious, airy, cohesive and great detail. Waking up in the morning looking at the ocean from the deck is seriously California dreaming.

The bed was very comfortable and the couches were even more comfortable. No A/C but given the location nice ocean breeze every evening. And the deck. My one regret was not spending more time on the deck. Everything was pristine but inviting, welcoming and comfortable.

In terms of distance to the main strip at Hermosa - not far at all - about 10 mins. A great workout walking up the hill. I even managed during unusually hot weather. The pier isn't far at all and everything is within walking distance. I didn't have a problem with street parking. I'm glad I chose Carol's home over local hotels and will certainly return when I need some RnR.
