From the moment Gena opened the dooor her warmth and genuine kindness was infectious. Her puppy Freddy had us falling in love with his adorable every move . Her stunning Spanish Mediterranean home was captivating and beautiful inside and out. Our bedroom and private bathroom were beautiful and the privacy was unbeatable. Speakers played music that was relaxing and upbeat through speaker systems in every room as well as the beautiful front and back porches. From the moment we entered her home we were welcomed like family and treated like royalty. The bed was super comfortable and the tv and lights were all controlled with the ease of a simple button. Breakfast was included and on top of that she made us gourmet ice coffees . Her generosity was simply incredible. The beach was only a short walk and parking in her garage made life much easier . The neighbourhood is beautiful and safe and her neighbours were incredibly kind to us as well. We looked forward to coming home each night to see Gena and Freddy and had many fantastic conversations and laughs. I can't possibly imagine a better air bnb. She was super helpful and insightful and has a heart of gold. Our trip to California was amazing and a large part of that was simply choosing Gena as our host and her home as our palace. We have stayed in many hotels and we both agree that Gena and her home are the most amazing place either of us have ever stayed at. For such an affordable price you get above and beyond anything comparable in price . We were both incredibly grateful we made the choice we did by choosing Gena and when it came time to leave it was really sad to leave because it was so lovely. Freddy is just hilarious and he never fails to put a smile on your face. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else while in Long Beach or California in general. We loved every minute our stay and we genuinely made two new incredible friends. We can't wait to get back on our next trip. Simply incredible in every way. Thank you so very much Gena ❤
