The house was beautiful and very much as advertised; great location in a nice neighborhood, not far from the freeway, close to the Long Beach airport and other amenities like Walmart and Costco. It was so nice to have such a large space to accommodate several adults/couples and all three of the bathrooms have a shower which saved us time in the mornings!
A few things I noticed:
1. The space: it gets very loud and echoey because all of the floors are some kind of hardwood laminate - even in the upstairs bedrooms. The bedroom pictures don’t show a lot of the flooring but one of the House Rules is no shoes upstairs so I was surprised when there was no carpet.
2. Beds: 2 of the 5 beds are comfortable (seemed like any hotel bed) but the other 3 are as hard as the floor. Thankfully our host had some additional bedding and padding in some of the other room closets so we weren’t as uncomfortable.
3. Check-In: The process was easy and Allen was very responsive to my messages. Because the garage door has a code that he provide upon arrival, there wasn’t a NEED for him to personally check us in - that could’ve been done via Airbnb messaging, but I didn’t mind either way.
4. Check-out: He charges a very low cleaning fee which is awesome and asked that we help him pick up before leaving. He didn’t elaborate as to what that meant so I hoped when we left that our version of “picking up“ was sufficient.
I would definitely stay here again with a large group provided the mattresses were replaced with softer ones - after 3+ nights of no/poor sleep, people get cranky!
