First and foremost, William was incredibly patient with me when it came to booking and very willing to work with my schedule (I was going to be in Long Beach for business and was waiting on work to give me the go-ahead). Joey was AMAZING, helpful, super responsive, and offered creative solutions to any issues that arose (nothing significant, just typical joys of homeownership). I have never stayed at a place before that offered such fast and efficient customer service/response. The home was initially stocked with basic necessities to get you started, from kitchen to bath, and I was pleasantly surprised with restocks of fruit and paper towels during one of Joey's visit.
My ONLY concern with this property was the location. It's in central Long Beach, and the immediate surrounding neighborhood is a bit questionable. There are easy walks to the beach, museums, grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and bars, etc, but I was not comfortable walking north at all, and would not walk south (toward beaches and restaurants) by myself at night. The apartment itself was very secure, in a locked courtyard with friendly, clean, respectable neighbors. A reserved parking spot was provided, however it was an open spot in an alleyway behind the apartment. Despite the location, I didn't have any issues with my car except pulling in/out of the spot (tight spot between a large SUV and a fence/telephone pole).
Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, a clean and comfortable apartment for a single person or couple that needs a place to stay centrally located to LA and surrounding areas.
