Wendell was an excellent host. Check in was a breeze, communication was great throughout and the condo was perfect for our group of 6. The location was perfect- within walking distance to the convention center and beach. I was worried about being across the street from the shelter since I was travelling with teenage girls that would be walking alone, but there was no issue at all. We felt perfectly safe and comfortable. Don't that deter you from renting this place- you won't even notice that it is there! The secure parking area was a bonus. Bikes and beach gear were great to have and Wendell has gone out of his way with little touches- providing coffee, creamer and condiments! He was very easy to reach and most accommodating to our special request. We would definitely recommend his place and will rent here again if we find ourselves back in Long Beach.
