I had a wonderful experience staying at Mark and Catherine's. This was my first time using Airbnb on my own and I couldn't have asked for better hosts and place. The description in the listing is accurate and doesn't do it justice in showing just how accommodating and welcoming Mark and Catherine are. I booked my stay in a last minute rush, and Catherine was able to reply very quickly. I checked in quite late in the night, but was pleasantly welcomed and made right at home from the moment I stepped in. The neighborhood is quite, with plenty of space for parking, and is very close to some nice restaurants and shopping. The room they offered was very clean and the bed was super comfy with a private washroom just beside the room. Although I'm not a breakfast person, there was always oatmeal or a small snack available in the kitchen in the morning. I had plenty of privacy where the room was located in the house, and whenever I had a question or concern Catherine was always available either in the house or through text. I felt very at home staying here, and had great interactions with the hosts. If ever in Long Beach again I would definitely stay here, and would highly recommend for anyone else planning on visiting.
