BOOK BOOK BOOK!
I searched for a very long time before I booked this place. California Beach cities tend to have very small houses and condos to choose from when staying for a weekend. Then there are larger places but for a very costly penny. I feel like this house was PERFECT for our groups budget and comfortable for our 5 person group. I celebrated my birthday and had 3 friends come from out of state for their first time.
Location
The area where this house is right off the freeway making it an easy place to get to. Short distance from Downtown Long Beach, and about a 25-30 minute drive to Santa Monica and Venice Beach. The neighborhood is very quiet and everyone keeps to themselves. The hustle and bustle of the city was never an issue.
House
Finding the house is very easy, specially if you follow the guide provided by the host. My friends rented their own car and drove here with out a problem. The entrance has the fronthouse where the host stays and the back area is where our house was where we were greeted with two kickass Volkswagon Busses. There is a grill with charcoal, a nice patio lounge area infront of the small cute pool with astheically pleasing succulents framing the entrance to the house. I took video of the entire house to show it to my friends and family who weren't able to join me and they all loved it!
The living room has two large couches where my friends took naps during the day and watched TV while we got ready for the night out. The dinning area had a large community table to eat and the kitchen was large enough for none of us to feel squished while we cooked together.
Right outside of the kitchen is a small private patio where we hung out on Vits lounge chairs and table. There is no smoking permitted indoors, to be respectful we enjoyed ourselves outside in Vits tidy private patio and cleaned up our ashes after ourselves when we were done. We never heard any neighbors and felt like we were in our own private home the entire time!
The bottom guest room is where I stayed with my better half and we enjoyed the huge windows on the wall. I can see this room being a bit warm if you book it during the summer time, but their AC in that room does its job!
The upstairs rooms were large enough to fit more than one person in each and my friends had a restful sleep and felt at peace. Sound never lingered throughout the house as we all had our own individual speakers playing and never interfered with each others Playlists lol
Lastly the balcony was a great addition. Looking out of the balcony in the morning. sunset, and at night was a small but memorable pleasure.
Thanks again to this awesome host for letting my group and I have a phenomenal weekend!
5 stars!!!
