This cottage is in an area of Long Beach that is much like SE Portland. The local people are generally friendly and interesting, the local housing is turn of the century, and, unlike most of Los Angeles, the attitude is laid back. The unit itself is charming and comfortable. I’d like to note, we’ve visited many Airbnb listings and often the kitchen implements and other items are of low quality and barely useful. Not in the case of this cottage, all of the items were of high quality and useful. The host, David, was amazing and very helpful.
