I was in Long Beach for a conference and I would recommend staying at Wendell's place for a number of reasons. One, he was extremely gracious and accommodating. He would make breakfast each day and make sure I was all set. He even gave me a ride to the airport when I flew out! The room is nice and clean, has a separate entrance which makes coming/going seamless. Bed is comfy and bathroom is really modern/spacious. Apt is within easy walking distance to heart of Long Beach. Again, this is a great option for those looking to save some money and stay downtown. Thanks Wendell!
