Pamela was very accommodating, helpful, and friendly. I almost felt like I was staying with family. They are a very pet friendly house which I enjoyed. (Beware the Ninja!) I was able to come and go as needed. Had a little storage in the fridge for my refreshments. Got a serious strong cup of coffee in the morning just the way I like it. Bed was very comfortable. The room was quiet and private. Also it came with some great amenities. (Aloe lotion for sunburns, maps to help navigate, and cable/internet). It was a short walk to the train which was very easy to navigate. 1hr to LAX or to downtown LA. It was a short walk of ten blocks to the downtown Long Beach area (where the thai food was excellent). I was only in for a few days, but it was all so excellent I look forward to going back.
