The host was amazing. My flight was delayed - the host went above and beyond to accommodate our 2 am arrival and a package delivery from USPS. The unit was great for the price. It is about a 20-25 minute walk from prime locations such as the pier and Pine Avenue. However, there is a parking space available with the unit. If you plan on driving or renting a car, that's a huge plus as it is nearly impossible to find parking in Long Beach. I walked and took Uber most places and had a great time.
