The photos do not do this location justice. It is actually nicer than in the pictures. It is an airy place with beautiful natural light. Even though it is on a main thoroughfare the landscaping affords privacy, pretty flowers outside the window and noise blockage. The hosts do not want guests smoking in the house so they provide this cute, off the kitchen balcony that really makes you feel like you are in a treehouse. It is clear that Franziska and Sudip have put A LOT of effort into making sure the guests have all the things they might need, in stylish detail, to feel at home. In fact, this unit is where Sudip’s own mother and father stay when they come to visit so when you are there, you are being treated as well as they treat their own flesh and blood. They have offered so many stylish accouterments that I suggested to them that they get an Amazon affiliates account and start tagging all the stuff in the place so that guests will know where to buy it for themselves - from the copper French Coffee press set to the cute mint green retro toaster, to the yoga mat with matching weights and resistance bands. They even have toys and games for when families with small children are guests and accouterments for pet owners. Franziska is an architect and it shows. They’ve remodeled the place with a lot of style. The kitchen has everything guests would need to cook a full meal. There are heaters that really crank for every room and hard blowing ceiling fans for when it is warm. The mattress was one of the most comfortable I’ve experienced as an AirBnB guest. The big bedroom has a walk in closet. If you already live in Long Beach and you’re looking for a place to host your own family when they come to visit you, I would greatly recommend this location. Your family will feel comfortable in the unit and your family will be taken care of like family by Franziska and Sudip who were ever helpful and even anticipated guest needs. I actually live in Long Beach and am using AirBnB while I wait to take possession of a recently leased apartment. I’m genuinely glad to have Franziska and Sudip as neighbors and look forward to socializing with them more. They are a great couple and this is a great place. Perfect for long term stays.
