This place is a real gem in terms of being close to the beach, restaurants, nightlife, Disney and more. Marisela’s place was a home away from home, offering a private back patio with a grill, jacuzzi, and covered seating. The front patio was nice for chilling out and people watching 😆.
There were so many restaurants, bakeries and bars half a block away so there is something for everyone. Being close to a Rite-Aid for necessities was convenient, but we ended up grabbing breakfast every morning at a different place on the main drag. Getting to Disney from here was about 20 minutes so that was awesome, and downtown Long Beach is not far either.
It’s important to note that the downstairs bathroom is shared between 2 bedrooms and has no access other than bedroom access. Not really an issue, but if someone is staying on the couch, they’ll have to walk through a bedroom for either of the bathrooms.
Street parking was always there, the furthest we parked was half a block away, but mind the signage for street cleaning and it’s a breeze. I was actually surprised how close we’d get to the house, so don’t let parking deter you from booking. Drive time to Los Angeles Airport/downtown/Santa Monica was under an hour so that was convenient as well.
All in all, the few times I had questions, Marisela promptly answered my texts. I’d definitely stay here again if I was in Long Beach, just a great property all around.
