Wendell was a fantastic host. He is open and inviting and has a comfortable and visitor friendly home. Plenty of access to cooking, refrigerator, coffee/tea service. I could come and go easily with a grocery and CVS just around the corner. The location is highly walkable and access to public rail transit is close and a free bus to the Queen Mary, Aquarium of the Pacific and shopping. Protected parking in the garage was wonderful and so rare in Long Beach that it adds to the value of the unit. Private entry and exit with wide well-lighted stairways and elevators made the place safe and secure. Plenty of storage, well-supplied bath and shower. I will certainly make Wendell's home my first choice when I visit Long Beach again.
