Jean was a very nice host.
She picked us up from the Greyhound bus station on the day of our arrival and continued offering us pick-ups from metro stops and other locations.
My friend and I didn't have a car and neither used Uber but still got around well in Long Beach and LA through public transport from Jean's house: It takes around 1 hour to downtown LA and about 2 hours to Santa Monica with metro and bus.
Jean's house is very clean, spacious and nicely furnished.
It also provides a cosy garden with a pool.
We felt very safe in the area and enjoyed having Trader Joe's in walking distance.
In the mornings we were welcome to have coffee from Jean's high quality coffee machine, which was very nice.
In general, Jean was generous and welcoming in all different ways.

We would definitely stay again with Jean, if we were visiting the LA-area again.

Thanks,
