My husband and I stayed at Karen's with our puppy Lucy. This is our first experience staying at an airbnb with Lucy and it couldn't have been better. Karen's yard is beautiful, and provided a great space to let Lucy (who is about 25 lbs) run around in.
Karen went above and beyond by providing Lucy dog treats, letting her play with her own dog's toys, and even letting Lucy out for us on a couple days when we were out battling LA traffic. Lucy got along superbly with both Karen and her dog, Monkey, so we felt very comfortable leaving Lucy with her.
The space itself is super cute and very clean, which I worry about when staying at pet-friendly places. Karen's place was as clean as they come. The bed was very comfortable and I slept very well while we were there. The only negative during our entire trip was that the wifi wasn't super reliable. Not a huge deal since we were out and about mostly, but was a little annoying the one hour I was trying to get a little bit of work done. The positives definitely outweighed that one negative though.
If in Long Beach again, I would be more than happy to stay with Karen again. She is very friendly and her place was incredibly welcoming and comfortable!
