My 10-year old daughter and I were on 2-week vacation in California (we are from Canada) and chose Valerie's airbnb because of it's safe neighborhood location and we also liked that we are the only guests staying here. Everything here exceeded our expectations ten fold!
This is a indeed a very safe neighborhood and a great place to explore the rest of South California from. We took day trips to San Diego and Los Angeles but most of the time we enjoyed endless opportunities in Long Beach itself. So much to do here (beaches, shopping, dining) and everything 5-10 minutes away by car from the house. Some days you don't even need to take a car, you can walk to so many places as well. Best location ever!
I also wanted a vacation that had down time so we spent a lot of time in the backyard as well, just reading, eating, playing. The room also has great TV with access to many streaming services. Lots of opportunity to chill!!
The room has a great nook to store luggage and clothes and variety of games and books. The bed is extremely comfortable, a nice table by the window too if you need to work a bit. The room is very quickly to cool down with an air-conditioner, plus there is a window and ceiling fan. The hosts thought of everything :-)
The hospitality is unmatched, communication with the host is the easiest you can imagine. If I can nominate Valerie for the host of the year I would! So grateful to her for all her efforts to make her guests feel welcomed. Her recommendations for best place to visit and dine at were so helpful too. Unforgettable experience!!!!
