Overall a very pleasant stay in what I reckon is the best part of Long Beach, on a beautiful street.
I came for a conference at the Long Beach Convention Center, at the other end of Long Beach. All the hotels were booked out or too expensive, so I chose Hilary's place, thinking I would uber/lyft in each morning. But to my pleasant surprise, Hilary had a bike which I could use! It was a stunning 15/20 min ride to the other end of the beach (the bike was a little small for me but comfortable enough).
