Hector was a great host - responsive, helpful, easy-going, and friendly. We couldn't have asked for better!
His place is well situated in a quiet residential neighbourhood that we liked very much. His neighbours are friendly, though unobtrusive, and the neighbourhood generally has a nice community feel to it.
The beach is approximately a 15 minute walk away and groceries, public transit, laundromats, restaurants and pretty much anything else you might need is available close by.
The garage parking spot is a huge plus because after a certain time in the afternoon it becomes very hard to park pretty much anywhere in Long Beach.
The studio itself is pretty small but cozy and comfortably accommodates a couple or a single traveler. It has a well-stocked kitchen for preparing meals at home and has most basic amenities covered for people who like to travel light.The bathroom has a big claw-foot bathtub which is excellent for soaking in (but might be harder for people with certain mobility issues to climb into).
We really enjoyed our stay at Hector's place & we would definitely recommend staying there!
