This beautiful guesthouse is a hidden gem. As you poke down a lush, narrow walkway and up the gorgeous terra cotta tiled staircase the quiet and peace envelop you. The generous and well-planned space is immaculate and decorated with a well-curated collection of mid-century pieces, wonderful photography and whimsical touches of old Long Beach. There is a cozy balcony and sweet rooftop and back garden views of the surrounding Spanish colonial 1920s neighborhood. The breezes waft through and you can even occasionally hear the cries of a local parrot colony.
Andrew is a wonderful host. He has thoughtfully provided for just about anything you could need. The beds are very comfortable and there is an abundance of pillows...both firm and soft so you can choose your preference! My father arrived a day before I did as we embarked on a week of rather difficult family business. Andrew not only looked out for my father, he kept me posted and, seeing him arriving exhausted, prepared a meal for him. He had all kinds of great recommendations on local neighborhood eateries and was always reachable for any needs.
This is an exceptional place. And an exceptional host.
