Hate those extra fees when you find an affordable nightly rate? So do we..Price includes all but the VRBO fee!!! Stay right in the upper Hollywood Riviera Village neighborhood. We have a studio with a loft and a private roomy bathroom. There is a Queen bed in the loft (up a steep ladder) and a Queen futon couch with a memory foam pad on the main floor. We are located in a quiet family neighborhood and while the studio is connected to the owners main house, there are no main shared living walls except the bathroom. There is a keurig coffee maker complete with pods and coffee condiments and a small fridge. We are however a no smoking, no cooking establishment due to there only being the bathroom sinks that are not equipped to handle food waste. The owners live on premises and have a small friendly hypo allergenic dog. The guest entrance is through the backyard and while she is rarely out there on her own we ask that you be conscientious when entering and exiting. The backyard is a quiet oasis to start your morning or end your day! If the dates you need show blocked please inquire as we sometimes have them blocked only because of check-in time arrangements.

The check in was easy and I was met and shown around. Lovely garden/siting area outside and even had some basic supplies like shampoo, toothpaste. Only a mini fridge and Keurig coffee maker but you are so close to so many amazing restaurant s and coffee shops in the Hollywood Rivera (Redondo Beach, PVE and Torrance. Tried il Primo, The Rex Steakhouse, Hi-Fi for coffee/breakfast, Original Pancake House, Sweet Wheat for French pastries and sandwiches and so much more. ##### Lisa Marcelle H.

We enjoyed the friendly hosts, nice beach cities location, the clean and cute set up, and the quiet and quaint neighborhood. The only "need to know" thing would be the ability to climb a vertical ladder to the comfortable queen bed in the loft is important. ##### Brenda S.

Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Cozy Room in Great Neighborhood The owners, Mark, Suzy, and Evi (the dog) were very friendly and communicative, making the whole stay hassle free. The place was extremely clean and parking was no issue at all. We booked our stay in the middle of July, so it does get hot but they did provide fans for airflow. The wifi was also spotty at times but we were out exploring the city more often than not. Overall, a great place to stay that’s also extremely reasonably priced! ##### Buck C.

Mar 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location, amazing hosts We truly loved staying at this vrbo. It is an attachment to the owner’s home, between the home and garage. Completely private with a separate entrance through the back yard. Their dog, Evi, is so sweet. About a mile from the beach, in a beautiful neighborhood great for morning strolls. Plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows, and two sleeping arrangements (the bed or the couch that folds down into a bed). The mini fridge was stocked, they had a great coffee bar setup, and little table for 2. This was a very peaceful stay in a beautiful area with great hosts. Check in and check out were a breeze, and street parking is available. I definitely recommend this stay and we feel so lucky to be the first guests! I definitely will be looking this up again for the next time I’m in the area. ##### JESSICA N.

Jul 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfy stay in quiet neighborhood This is a really comfy place in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach and plenty of delicious restaurants. The loft bed was fun like a deluxe version of getting the top bunk at sleep-away camp, and there is a futon downstairs if you don’t want to climb up to the loft. Mark and Suzi are both super friendly, and their dog Evi was a little ray of sunshine when we would briefly encounter her. We enjoyed the extensive DVD collection a few nights during our stay for cozy movie nights in. The neighborhood itself is very safe and quiet, and it was lovely to drive through. ##### Anna B.
