The backyard and pool area really make this AirBnB. The house inside is indeed vintage (old) but clean and comfortable due to central HVAC that runs well. The kitchen only has plastic utensils so bring your own if that matters to you. The home is meant to be enjoyed with guests and also makes a nice solo retreat. Lights & speakers are connected with Alexa though I'm not as into this myself so didn't really use it. The pool is equipped with toys and inflatables so you don't have to bring your own. I was looking for a dog-friendly listing and my dogs loved the backyard and felt very comfortable in the house. The neighborhood and Long Beach in general are very dog friendly. Mike is a down to earth person and is reasonable to deal with. He gives you space even though he's technically next door. The provided parking is very LA (long narrow driveway) which I'm used to but may be a challenge for larger vehicles. I would stay here again with my friends and dogs.
