Shelley is a great host & was even willing to let us crash at her personal home while we waited for our flight after we checked out. What a sweet offer. The location is good & being able to park in the driveway was a real plus. The house is cute. The upgrades are nice & the home is pretty spacious for this older area of Long Beach. There were plenty of extras like yoga mats, laundry detergent & the like.
I spoke with Shelley about some ideas to improve the guest experience, but a few things to note for anyone staying in the near future are:
1) There is no microwave at the home.
2) There is no working TV at the home.
3) The shower head & shower curtain are missing in the master bathroom, so unless you want to take a bath you'll be sharing the hall shower.
4) The backyard is due for some upkeep from a gardener, but on the plus side, the jacuzzi is clean & really warm, so don't forget your suit.
5) Not all the windows had blinds or coverings.
Overall we had a great stay as mostly we were out & about with family & this was a good place to come back to at the end of a fun filled day.
