A beautiful, clean, well-stocked home that provided the perfect sanctuary during USC college move-in week. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, comfortable, and completely at ease. The home itself was beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully appointed—an ideal retreat from the excitement and chaos of move-in week.The hosts were exceptional: warm, gracious, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. Their hospitality made our stay feel effortless and special.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during such an important and emotional week. This home was truly a wonderful escape, and we would absolutely love to return. Highly recommended!

Super cute clean place to stay. The neighborhood is very safe and clean. Owners are very gracious and communicate quickly. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area. We chose this partially because of the full kitchen and washer/dryer which were all perfect.

This place was perfect and cozy, had all the basic necessities you need. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet, check in was easy, hosts checked in to make sure we were good, it was overall great for our short stay. The location was also in the middle to a lot of places we wanted to visit in the Long Beach area. Thank you again for the stay! We would definitely come back.

My fiance and I had the great opportunity to stay in this cozy property for a short while before relocating for work and it was perfect for just the 2 of us! The host is exceptionally accommodating and willing to do what it takes to make the stay as seamless as possible! I would highly recommend staying here and appreciate the time we stayed here!

This was the perfect place to stay! The location is quite and safe. The hosts are extremely nice and attentive without being up in your space. We very much appreciated their hospitality and they promptly responded to our messages via the VRBO application. We loved staying here so much that we have already booked a second stay.

Hello Claude, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate it. Ir was a pleasure hosting you. Looking forward to hosting you again soon.
We were looking for an "extended stay" experience near Torrance, CA, and found this location. The host was informative and shared everything we needed to facilitate our arrival. The home was just the right size for the two of us. We loved the full size appliances and having the washer/dryer in the unit. The bed was super comfortable. There were plenty of pillows and blankets. We did not use the sofa sleeper.The location was so convenient to shopping and sightseeing. We had questions while we were there. The host was extremely responsive each time we reached out.We told our daughter, who lives in Torrence, that she should recommend this location to others visitors if they need a small cozy place with all the amenities you need.

Very neat, very clean, well appointed, well decorated, great outdoor patio and a very reasonable price. When looking for a place in LA we couldn't find all of the above amenities with a reasonable price. When you find this place, if you don't grab it immediately, when you return to find it, it will be gone.

Hello Joe, thank you for taking the time to give us a review and for your kind words. We really appreciate it. It was a pleasure hosting you and your wife. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
My family and I came to LA on holiday and to spend time with family. Our trip had a rocky start because of delayed flights and missing luggage. Rachel remained in contact and made sure we knew we’d be welcome whenever we arrived. The house was not far from the airport and easy to find. Our stay was so comfortable, the house had everything we needed and very well organized. The bed was comfortable and the pull out in the living room was just what we needed when our kids needed a little extra space.
I would recommend this property to any small family or couple visiting the area. It was the perfect home away from home after busy days visiting LA and beyond.
