This was my first experience with Airbnb. The problem with it being my first experience is that this will be my gold standard. We were in town for our son's wedding and it was the perfect place for family. At the beginning I had told Curt that we had 4 small grandchildren, ages 4,3,2and 1 that would be there. I just wanted to make sure children were allowed. Their response? "this will be perfect". From the moment I had correspondence with Curt and Denise they were warm and kind. That warmth and hospitality was evident in their beautifully decorated home. The house was exactly as depicted on the Airbnb site. A sweet welcome note with snacks was there when we arrived. This was much appreciated the next morning at breakfast since we had arrived at night and were too tired to venture out after a long flight to try to find a grocery store. Also, much appreciated was the list of instructions for the house.....codes, how to access the bikes, fire pit, internet, etc, along with recommendations for restaurants, grocery stores, activities in the areas. We found "Mother's Beach" 1/2 mile from the house....a quiet beach with a great playground. The kids loved it. When we had arrived at the house, the first thing my 3 year old grandson had spied was a plastic dump truck in the garage, along with a large bag of beach toys. The neighborhood is beautiful. It was fun to walk the couple of blocks to the canal and look at all the beautiful homes and gardens. We ate several meals on the patio and enjoyed the fire pit as the evenings grew chilly. It was great having a 2 car garage since street parking can be a bit of a problem in Long Beach. The few times I had to contact Curt and Denise with questions they immediately responded. Would I recommend this house? Definitely Would I stay here again? I sure hope so.
