We truly enjoyed our stay at the Yellow House on Broadway. I traveled with my high school best friend and it was our first time at Long Beach. We were looking forward to a relaxing stay and a break from the demands of adult life and motherhood.
Niquey and Charlie truly have thought of everything. They have so many amenities and thoughtful touches that reflect their care and attention for their guests. The backyard is a BEAUTIFUL space for drinking coffee in the morning and drinks and dinner in the evening. We walked and biked everywhere to avoid the cost of renting a car. The bike rentals are just a block away and we loved being walking distance to the beach. Niquey and Charlie have great recommendations for activities and restaurants in their travel guide. Yoga on the Bluff was a highlight.
The only thing preventing me from giving a full five stars is the amount of noise from the street at night. My friend who slept in the back bedroom was not affected, but I slept in the front bedroom which has windows to the sidewalk (which I kept closed). Even with the windows closed, I was woken up at least once per night by voices, music, and cars speeding down the street. It was most significant on Friday and Saturday. I consider myself a heavy sleeper and I'm typically not bothered by the sounds of the city, but this was more than I could sleep through. It is definitely something to consider if you are a light sleeper or traveling with kids. The back bedroom might be a better option!
Niquey and Charlier were very responsive throughout our stay. They even fully replaced the washer and dryer when we notified them it was broken. They seem like genuinely kind people who take a lot of pride in helping people to have the best stay possible.
