Claudia's place was simple and nice for our stay. We mostly only slept there and had some meals there. There are lots of extra beds so that makes everyone comfortable. Other reviews talked about bad internet and bad hot water and sadly that is still the same. The hot water didn't even fill up the bathtub halfway. It was at most one quick shower. The internet pretty much never worked. It kicks you off. But you can go to the local library and use the internet there for free. Just ask for a visitor card and you can use that to sign in with as many computers as you want. Since we have online school we went there everyday. You can even get 10 pages of free printing. Parking was never hard to find near the house on the street. It wasn't too bad of a neighborhood so I wasn't really worried about anything once I locked the car. The neighborhood was quiet and we were able to easily access the home based on Claudia's instructions. It was also only about 20 minutes to the beach in Long Beach. We went even though it was cold. We went during the winter so hopefully the beaches would be a little cleaner by the summer.
