I had a nice stay at Caroline's studio. It's spacious and offers beautiful views, and is right on the beach. The beach that it's steps away from gets pretty busy with families, but there's a lot to do - explore tide pools, lounge in the sand, or go to the free aquarium (I loved the aquarium!)... All walking distance to the apartment. I also enjoyed the Korean Bell/park nearby which has great views, and that the location was so close to Long Beach to go grab dinner. Parking is a breeze too. I didn't know the balcony was shared but luckily the complex is so quiet. Could use a new mattress. But everything else, I enjoyed! Thanks Caroline!
