Phil & Mimi’s place is wonderful for a longer stay in southern CA. They have everything in the unit well documented / labeled for easy use. The keyless entry systems are set up for convenience. They have many very considerate touches for long term (and short term) stays, like cooking oil and spices, extra supplies (garbage bags, laundry & dishwasher detergent). The location of the unit was convenient, close to transit into LA, close to the beach, close to stores and restaurants in Long Beach. Long Beach itself is a great little town (loved the bike share!). And the weather in southern CA (compared to mid-Atlantic) in January is fantastic!!! Would highly recommend. (Logistically, visitors should be aware of a couple things. The metro into LA via the blue line takes ~1hour. And Phil & Mimi do a great job of preparing the unit with a quality check, but that means that depending on time between rentals they may not be able to accommodate early check-in (before 4pm), so plan arrival accordingly.)
