This apartment is an ideal jump off for any LA adventure. There is a lot going on locally because it is in Long Beach. I stumbled on a music festival at the Queen Mary, took in a comedy show then partied along Pine Ave and also did some bar hopping on 'Retro Road' which is right down the street (the hosts give great pointers). The rest of the city is a train or bus ride away in case you want to leave the car parked and be adventurous. There's a full kitchen available to use but my brother stopped in and made very good use of the grill.
The neighborhood is safe and vibrant with a lot to discover. The apartment is cozy (shout out to the mattress) so resting up for the next day was no problem ito was very clean and quiet. The hosts Pedro and Katie are very chill and made the stay very relaxing. This is definitely my official home away from home in LA and I look forward to seeing how Long Beach grows from here. I already miss their local Thai food just as much as the great destination spots in LA like the Concert Hall and Arts District
