HOUSE:
Upon arrival, Nicole had fresh cut fruit, water and some amazing pastries for us to enjoy as she showed us the house. Nicole has done an AMAZING job updating this house and designing the space, it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! There are two rooms with attached baths on the top floor with the master having a spa like shower with view of the ocean in the distance. The guest bathroom had an amazing view of Palos Verdes right from the shower, a nice thing to wake up to in the morning.

The downstairs was even better, open the double doors to the sun filled patio for a refreshing ocean breeze, while eating at the 6 person table or at the bar in the kitchen. The gas fireplace is a perfect addition to keep warm during those "cold" LA winter evenings. Basically that is just a long way of saying the place was PERFECT!

LOCATION:
Even better than the house, is the location. You are within walking distance to Redondo and Hermosa Beach, the marina, the Strand, the Seaside Lagoon, Whole Foods, Rite Aid, Fresh Brother's Pizza and several other restaurants. Ocho Mexican restaurant is a must try for a quick bite. There are also four coffee shops within walking distance, I recommend Catalina Coffee shop on Catalina. Not to mention you can drive to literally anywhere in the LA area in under an hour (depending on traffic of course :)

AMENITIES:
For those wanting to go to the beach Nicole has everything you would need. She has paddle boards, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and other beach games. In the house she has a fully stocked kitchen and hutch full of your bar needs, wine glasses, beer glasses, martini mixer, you get the idea. For the coffee lovers that don't want to walk to one of the four coffee shops, Nicole has both espresso and a traditional coffee pot available.

HOST:
Nicole is an amazing host, we did a long term rental with her and she bent over backwards to make sure we were happy, due to my job, we move every 6-7 months and she was extremely flexible, since we didn't have an exact move out date until the end of the trip. This was our first experience with Airbnb, and thanks mainly to Nicole, it will not be our last. If you are lucky enough to stay with Nicole at her amazing beach house, know you will have the best time in the best location!

Thanks Nicole for the best place to live while in LA, wish we never had to leave.
