Staying at Polen's place felt like my own little artist's retreat. It was super private and the neighborhood is absolutely adorable - I couldn't get enough of all the houses. Polen's backyard patio area is gorgeous and so peaceful for getting some morning sun, and being able to do my laundry there was a major plus, too. I definitely recommend Polen's guest suite for a short-term visit in the Long Beach area! I look forward to staying here again if work takes me back that way.
