Pauline was such a great host...we felt like we were staying at a friend's place. The neighbors were really nice too! She left breakfast items in the fridge for us and really had everything there that we needed. The bed is super-comfy too! The place is convenient to all the things I love about Long Beach too...a block from the beach and their great new Olympix gym, a couple blocks from 2nd St and all the great shopping and restaurants, a short drive to downtown too!
