This guest house is perfect for a family of 3 or 4 and worked perfectly for our stay in Long Beach. Plenty of space in the living room and kitchen for gathering or watching TV, and 2 bathrooms for kids and parents ensured we were never competing for bathroom time. Bedrooms are slightly cramped although beds are comfortable. We were able to leave windows open for the fresh ocean air and there was very minimal noise, even on the 4th of July weekend (would have expected lots of loud fireworks). Parking was ample although it's a 1/2 block walk - there is no direct parking next to the unit unless you want to temporarily park below it and unpack luggage. Brian was very communicative to our needs and responded quickly to requests and check in.
Also, this location is perfectly nestled between Belmont shopping district, many grocery stores, and then downtown Long Beach - all within a 10 minute drive. There's also a promenade along the shore for beautiful sunsets and walks which is a short walk away. There is no shore view from the unit although nice neighborhood views and plenty of windows.
