We were unable to stay at Mark and Catherine's place. We were one of the unfortunate folks that could not travel because the airline was shutdown and no flights were leaving from our town due to bad weather all over the country. AirBnB and Mark and Catherine were very understanding and gracious and refunded our money. We were really looking forward to our stay with them, because we had a relative that stayed there and gave them great reviews, and she is picky. We definitely going to book with them the next time we are traveling to visit Long Beach.
