The apartment is very bright and well decorated. It’s cozy and quite comfortable - well equipped for a great stay. We (a couple) were there for 10 days and were very happy. The neighbors and the neighborhood are very welcoming to Airbnb guests, which is not common as readers of this review well know. The apartment is also very well located near the beach shore and close to Bixby Park, where there is a farmer’s market twice a week. Lots of things are walkable, including coffee shops, restaurants, novelty and vintage clothing shops, a drugstore/pharmacy, and two of Long Beach’s top museums. A huge and new supermarket is only 20 minutes away by foot. The one challenge for guests is the difficulty of parking your car, but the listing points that out correctly. We spoke with neighbors, who also have the same challenge. Even with this considered, we recommend staying there!
