Ruben's place is an absolutely gorgeous Spanish-style front house that was updated, yet still retained a lot of its original charm. The space looked freshly cleaned upon arrival and the amount of space was more than we expected, which really made us feel luxurious. The house is located in a quiet, residential part of Long Beach that was easily accessible to downtown and within walking distance to a lot of great restaurants on 4th Street. Being able to park in the garage instead of circling for street parking was a HUGE plus, but the hosts really are not kidding when they say only small cars can fit, it was a tight fit but such a time saver. The only reason why I'm leaving 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the beds which were not as comfortable as I would've hoped for the price. The bed I slept on (in the room with two beds in it) sloped down to the right which prevented me from sleeping in the middle of the bed and that was pretty annoying. PLEASE invest in some new mattresses and some quality linens for the future.
