Beautiful place. I was at Long Beach for a work conference and it was pretty convenient. About a 30 minute walk and if you choose to, you can take do most of that walk on the beach.
An even shorter commute if you decide to drive or take an Uber.
The keypad is also really helpful since I didn't have to worry about losing my keys by accident.
As for the hosts, you can tell they are experienced. They are timely with their communication and gave me all the information that I needed to get things going.
