U.B.'s place is great! The photos do not do it justice. the bathroom was really nicely done. It is a small one bedroom but perfect for a couple. However, my 19 year old grand daughter and her grandfather came and stayed over. The fold out couch was great for her grandfather. The full size refrigerator was good to have and there is an apt size gas stove w/oven. Parking was not a problem. I parked my car directly in front of the apt and U.B. was kind to ley my granddaughtet park her car in the garage as street parking was scarce.
Everything you need is extremely close by. We walked to get coffee in the morning. I highly recommend the Mexican restaurant Los Compadres.
I recommend U.B.'s place if you're going to Long Beach. Keep in my it is about a 30 to 45 min drive to L.A. and traffic can be slow because Long Beach is a dock town so there are a lot of semis and trucks on the freeways there.
