This stay turned out to be quite the treat! The 1bd/1bth apt was just the right size to comfortably house me and two of my friends for a two-night stay in the area. Couldn’t have found a better location for this beach trip—just a few blocks down and you’re right in the ocean!
The neighborhood is very quiet—barely heard any of the neighbors or outdoor activity while in the unit. One thing to keep in mind is that parking is definitely a challenge—if you’re not on location looking for a spot between 16:00 and 18:00 you might have to park a few blocks away. No worries, you can always move your car closer the next morning (around 10:00 is a good time to check).
The cat was no problem at all. It’s obviously very comfortable with people, and it’s mature enough to not run out an open door, or mess around with your luggage. It is a lap cat, so if you show it enough attention and give it an open invitation, the cuddles will commence. One of my friends is not a cat person (at all!), and it was good to see that the cat pretty much left him alone.
Cats do meow... This one in particular seems to very much like company... I did notice that when I would close it off from the bedroom or bathroom, it would occasionally try to hold lively conversations with me through the door. Adorable.
We didn’t really use the kitchen all too much. Just the fridge. There are plenty of dishes and cooking utensils, and pots and pans, so if you do feel like cooking, everything is there.
The bed and couch were super comfy—I slept like the dead on both. There were plenty of blankets (and towels) to go around, not that any were really needed as the night temps in the apt were very comfortable during this stay.
The bathroom is located in the bedroom. If there is a group staying in the unit, just keep in mind that there may need to be a open door policy on the bedroom.
All in all, I enjoyed my stay. Everything there is to do in LB is close enough to walk to—the beach, aquarium, Pike Outlets, the harbor, and downtown for restaurants and nightlife. Definitely would stay here again if I ever come back through to visit LB.
