This apartment was a great home base for my husband, friend, and I while we were in Long Beach for a wedding. We were about a 15 minute walk from the Promenade area, with lots of restaurants/shopping, with several coffee/food options on the way. The building and apartment are both very charming, and we loved sitting in the living room with the windows open. The bedrooms are both small but comfortable. The streets outside could be a bit loud, so if you are a light sleeper, I might recommend ear plugs, but it didn't bother us. Overall we had a great stay!
