I cannot speak highly enough of my stay at Udo's place. He was communicative and welcoming, and even brought me a bowl full of oranges he freshly picked from a tree in his beautiful garden. The apartment itself had literally anything you could need for a stay and was so charming with all of the built ins and unique light fixtures. It is also close to many restaurants, cafes, and bars, and is only two blocks from the beach. Udo also provides guests with access to bikes, which was a great way to get around. I was sad to leave and would stay at Udo's place in a heartbeat if I found myself in Long Beach again!
