Pauline's bungalow was very homey and comfortable, and the neighborhood was great. We enjoyed quiet walks checking out the different styles of architecture on the residential streets, found some good food spots along 2nd Ave, and hit the beach — all within a few blocks' radius.
Pauline was away in Hawaii during our stay, but made sure to set up everything we needed ahead of time, and checked in on us here and there.
We joked that Pauline must have gone there because it was the only place more pleasant and relaxing than her usual spot in Long Beach. :)
