Was in town for a graduation and was looking for a place to stay alone. John's place was a pleasure to stay! In pretty much the middle of Belmont Shore, almost as close as you can get to 2nd street, but just far enough so I didn't notice any noise. Comfortable atmosphere and it was exactly like the pictures. It's great to wake up and have a lot nearby: walking to the beach, food, and shopping! A very convenient way to experience my favorite area of Long Beach. I would stay again!
