Flat out, I would NOT recommend this place. Neighborhood was terrible, it is in a really sketchy place and I did not feel comfortable being outside at night. The parking area is in an alley way where cars zoom in and out of, on top of it being in a bad part of Long Beach. The actual building infrastructure was really old and this should have been noted in the description. There are metal bars cover every window of the apartment and we all know what metal bars is an indication of. I would also disagree about it being an area of gentrification, just because there are city bikes out front does not make it a "safe" place.
If the apartment was not dirty as well I might have been able to get over the neighborhood. This place need to be remodeled, kitchen sink looks like it has seen better days. The window seals were dusty and looks like it hadn't been clean in very long time. The sliding glass door has scratches on it looks like someone keyed it. The bathroom was not inviting there was a dirty mat with a footprint in it. The bathtub was dingy just like the kitchen sink, needless to say I did not shower on my overnight stay here.
