We spend some great days in Long Beach and Emily's Loft was really wonderful. A beautiful location in a beautiful neighbourhood. It's fun to just walk around and look at all the neat houses. Communication with Emily and her friend Flavia has always been easy and very friendly.
The beach is only a 5 Min walk away and so is 2nd Street with lots of bars and restaurants.
Originally we had planned to drive to LA, Santa Monica and other locations but honestly we both fell in love with Long Beach and stayed there most of the time. :) We can highly recommend Emily's Loft!
