John's place is fantastic and perfect for 1 or 2 travelers. I was out visiting a friend, but that friend had to work a number of days I was there. John's place was perfect given it's location to all the shops and eateries on 2nd street, and more importantly, it was a short walk to the beach (and I'm not even big on taking walks). But the location, amenities, and cleanliness of the place was ideal. The only issue I had was that the WiFi would cut out from time to time, but I didn't go to Long Beach to stay on my computer. If you're traveling to Long Beach, I suggest staying at John's.
