I cannot recommend this spot enough! Areta is the loveliest host, friendly and accommodating. The apartment and backyard are just as nice as they look in the photos. As other reviews mention, there are a few sections of stairs, which I did not mind. I think this apartment would comfortably serve 1-2 people. While the bed is a couch pull-out, I still found it very comfortable and slept well while I was visiting. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you might need for coffee, tea or light breakfast/lunch preparation. Areta had the kitchen supplied with a large jug of drinking water as well, which I really appreciated. The bathroom was just as it looks in photos as well - it had everything I needed, including a stock of basic toiletries.
The outdoor area accompanying the apartment is so, so lovely. There are several places to sit and enjoy the sunshine, beautiful plants and flowers, and birds. The yard is full of birdsong which was a lovely thing to wake up to. Areta’s small dog and bunny are also sometimes in the yard, which I loved!
I really enjoyed the apartment location - it is just off a busier road which leads to plenty of restaurants, but is tucked away enough that the traffic was never too loud. It is a straight-shot 10 minute walk to the beach, and about 1-mile (~20 minute walk) from both riviera village and the Redondo beach pier. I didn’t rent a car while I visited and I didn’t regret it, though it means that I definitely walked a lot. However, you can also rent bikes close by, Ubers are quite plentiful, and there is a nearby bus stop where you can catch a bus into LA, or down to Long Beach.
Overall, I had a lovely time visiting Redondo beach and staying in this spot, and I would 100% stay here again!
