I can't say enough positive things about my stay at Andre's and his long-time friend and onsite manager Frank. Both were very friendly, helpful, and still respectful of our privacy. The 103-year-old building has SO MUCH CHARACTER!!!! Like a New Orleans-style building with 4 story open courtyard with plants cascading down, a relaxing fountain in the courtyard, and benches to relax on. In the unit, exposed brick and many beautiful antiques and treasures from Andre's travels around the world! Was it spotless? No. But I have owned & renovated many historic properties and you trade a little for all the character. In my opinion, Well Worth It! The only downside is the parking. Long Beach is parking impacted! Then you play musical cars on street sweeping days. BUT, if you find a great parking space, it is very walkable to many places downtown & good exercise. I look forward to a future visit. Bravo! Well done!
