Fantastic location was perfect for attending a conference and accessing nightlife. Loads to do in a short walking radius. It really doesn't get more central! Wendell's place is characterful and fun, and there are thoughtful touches everywhere you look, like a drawer full of "stuff you might have forgotten" in the bathroom and a bowl full of outlet adapters for every country in the guest room. The bed was comfy and the towels were plush and luxurious, like at a fancy hotel. Wendell was very friendly and it was really nice to stay at a hosted spot with someone who is connected to the Long Beach community!
