We really loved staying here. At first, we were a little fazed by the parking situation and the breezier weather, but after a few days, we got used to it and felt like we were locals. Long Beach itself is a very cute area of LA, and we definitely felt like we couldn't fit everything we wanted to do during our stay. It's a short walk from the beach and downtown (where there are a lot of water activities) with great restaurants everywhere. I would like to especially point out that the host, Hilary, was so helpful. There were three of us working from the airbnb, and when the wifi seemed weak, Hilary actually came and swapped it out for increased bandwidth. I would recommend staying here and would love to come again!
