We very much enjoyed our anniversary trip to Long Beach staying here.
The huge selling point was the bikes because we wanted to be able to ride down to the beach, which was about a 10-15 minute ride (only a couple of major roads crossing). We loved this aspect however the pink bike had broken brakes (not easily fixable with a tightening or wrench) and we almost got in a really bad accident because of it. Not sure if the people before us jacked them up, or if the bikes are rarely tuned but this was a huge bummer because we couldn’t fully enjoy this perk. The place was decorated beautifully, however it looked like it hadn’t been deep cleaned in a while. The floor was not swept, the baseboards were gross and the dust from the bathroom lights literally was falling down while brushing my teeth (ew). But both the bed and couch both felt very clean and comfortable, which is the most important!! It basically had everything we needed like microwave, toaster, cleaning products, shampoo, etc. but I do wish the washer/dryer was located in the actual unit (it’s in the alleyway outside).
Lastly, little hiccup with checking in, however phoebe was available via phone almost immediately to remotely let us into the place which was much appreciated!
Long Beach — super cute town with nice beaches and restaurants! We got sushi, hibachi, coffee shops galore, and the restaurant on the shore was so friendly and yummy! About an hour to LA/Malibu/Hollywood which was fun to visit and if you go to the John Wayne airport, you have to stop by “the lab” with a couple restaurants/coffee shops!
Overall we very much enjoyed our stay and the small studio is quite beautiful!
