Fred's place was a quaint little place tucked into Long Beach. I would recommend showing up during the daylight because finding the lockbox in the dark was very difficult. The house is two blocks from the Metro station that can take you straight into LA, or Lyfts/ Ubers are readily available; some GPS systems would direct our driver to the alley behind the house so just be aware of that. The neighborhood isn't the nicest but the house felt very safe with a deadbolt and door lock on the front door and a lock on our bedroom door.
There is no air conditioning but Fred provided many fans, and he opened windows prior to us arriving to cool it down. The bedroom was very warm the first night, but after leaving the fans on the next day it was completely comfortable. The water pressure was low but not awful.
Fred was very welcoming and stayed in contact with us through the whole trip, offering little tidbits to the local area. We stayed in the home by ourselves and filled it up pretty easily, I don't know how different our trip would have been if we were sharing the bathroom/ living area. The house is very updated and Fred provided many amenities and it felt like our own little hotel suite! There was a microwave, all the bathroom essestials you might need, as well as a gift basket with snacks!
Overall, our stay was amazing and I would love to stay again!
Thanks so much Fred!!
