just got back from four nights at Linda’s studio in Long Beach. The area is quiet and beautiful. We really enjoyed walking the dogs in the neighborhood and taking them to Rosie’s dog beach. Lots of furry friends and friendly owners. We went towards the pier as well and if you have a sweet tooth, the funnel house is a must!!
We did a few day trips too and found it be very centrally located. Day trips included Santa Monica/Venice beach, San Clemente, and Laguna Beach.
In Long Beach we visited local coffee shops and are still drooling over the amazing foodie spots. Our favorites were Saint & Second, and Cafe Picolo (Italian spot with a rustic romantic vibe, fire pit, great wine selection, highly recommend!).
The studio itself had so many personal touches and it felt as if we were being invited into someone’s home, not at all a hotel feel. The interior was thoughtfully decorated and we felt relaxed after a long day in the sun. We didn’t want to leave!
