Shahnin's father was our host. He was very attentive to our needs and responded quickly. There were three of us - grandma, mother and daughter ( 18 months old). There was plenty of room for us in the apartment. The pullout sofa bed was comfortable. The apartment was very clean. Our stay was in mid-August. And being from the Seattle area, we were not acclimated to the hot afternoons and evenings. The apartment faces south and west, so it gets very warm. Shahin's father was very considerate and brought us an extra fan. We had a lovely stay. Of course, we loved the easy access to beaches and restaurants. We found a nice small kid-appropriate park within a 5-minute walk of the apartment and on the canals. We met a lovely local mom at the park who gave a long list of toddler activities near the apartment. We enjoyed Long Beach Aquarium - about a 20 - 30-minute drive.
