Ed is a great host: very friendly, absolutely caring, and very clear in his communications.
We had a great time in his beautiful flat, greatly decorated, with a well equipped kitchen (although they are plenty of good places to eat in walking distance). The bed is super comfortable.
The location is just a block from the beach, and a few minutes walk from downtown Long Beach. Quiet at night, but lively during the day.
Overall we absolutely recommend Ed and his place for a stay!
