We had a lovely stay at Susan's place. It's nice and light with beautiful views over Long Beach, just like the pictures. If you've got a car I'd definitely recommend booking the garage as the street can get very busy, and if you're not familiar with the parking restrictions then avoid parking on the red lines just along from the house as you'll get a ticket there! We didn't find the main shops in Long Beach until we were leaving however it looked like a really nice area so make sure you check them out. Susan was quick to help out with instructions and we'd happily stay here next time we're in LA.
