We just returned from our trip to California at Cory & Angela's place. The house was exactly as described - and we loved the fact that there was a private drive and easy access to everything. We loved everything about the layout of the place including the amazing kitchen, and outdoor area. Every inch of the place is usable space and with a teenage son - the skate ramp + arcade games were a plus! The only thing to be aware of is that there is indeed air conditioning, which works fabulously, but it is not "central air", and is a modern portable unit that is loud and placed directly next to the bed (plugged into the exterior wall). Nothing that would impede a great visit - more of an FYI for those who may have issues with sleeping with a little noise.
The home came equipped with a great BBQ and all the amenities of home. Since we were travelling with a carry on bag - having the washer/dryer was an amazing perk - which made planning/packing - a breeze.
I wouldn't hesitate to return to this home for our next Long Beach adventure. A hotel is a complete waste of money in comparison to the value of this Airbnb.
