The house is very cozy and well-decorated. All the restarsunts and shops are 1 min walk but the street itself very calm and not noisy. It was very comfortable to sleep. The beach is 2 mts walk, almost no people. We could take bikes and take a trip all along the beach. Long Beach is pretty far from the main LA sights, but it's not a problem if you have a car. We really enjoyed this town and our stay there. Curt was very friendly:)
