Communication: I didn't get to meet Dorothy, but the emails I received beforehand were clear on how to get into the back patio and find the keys to our unit. Our 3 nights went so smoothly, we never had to contact our host for anything.
The space: The entire property was very clean and beautiful. There is a shared splash pool and fire pit in the common area of the patio in the back yard, it was a great place to relax and unwind. Parking was super easy, there is plenty of it on the street of this safe and adorable neighborhood.
Our unit: So many bright colors and everything was new + well taken care of. This particular unit was attached the front house (but has it's own entry), so be aware that you can hear other tenants.
Location: It is very much a suburb of Long Beach. You could probably walk to a nearby bodega, but you'll probably want to drive everywhere else. We stayed here because it was close to the freeway, as we were visiting LA, Long Beach and Disneyland equally. The location was perfect for our visit and I would suggest checking out the close-in neighborhood Bixby Knolls.
