I have been quite fortunate with AirBnb--I seem to find the best places to stay. Zev and Melissa's place, however, surpassed my expectations. Why? Location, Location, Location. A quick stroll to the beach with a towel and a novel, or a great workout at the gym that is steps away, followed by breakfast at Chuck's Coffee (the best kind of retro diner; nicest people)...or, if you stroll the other way, a quick jaunt to 2nd street for the flavor of Long Beach (vintage clothing, seemingly dozens of cafes, restaurants, etc.) What's more, if you feel like exploring in your car, there's your own parking spot in the garage behind the unit so...no trouble there. The unit itself is immaculate, comfortable, equipped with all that you need (including coffee and creamer/sugar). Your hosts are communicative and really care about your experience. I took their recommendation on a Mexican restaurant and it was spot on! I was there for a week and didn't want to leave. If you want a short holiday in Long Beach, breathe easy: with all the stress right now with air travel, it's nice to know that you can book this place, relax, and have no regrets.
